The gallery is getting full of all of my favorite pieces form the recent firing. I need a backward miracle, to hold attention on a single vessel.
Backward Miracle
Every once in a while
we need a
backward miracle
that will strip language,
make it hold for
a minute: just the
vessel with the
wine in it --
a sacramental
refusal to multiply,
reclaiming the
single loaf
and the single
fish thereby.
