You answer the audience,
they read - as if your voice a shell - your countenance
till the hollow is filled, your notion received.
How often can you read body language in sentences?
Can I take your hand--
I misspoke.
Can I take your head
and place it on my pottery wheel?
I'll center you and master the surface
till I can sink my hands in and create a perfect hollow.
I'm fastidious.
My eyes are clear ice.
I look up every so often to keep them from dripping out.
