Clay

by Alyson Miller

Moldable,

breakable,

manipulatable.

With a little bit

of effort

you can shape it.

With a little bit

of effort,

it becomes beautiful.

With little manipulation

it’s no longer

the blob that it was.

It becomes something

beautiful

but is no longer itself.

I am not clay

The only thing

that can change me

is me.
