When They Fired the Kiln

Pre-menstrual clay
Bleeds mix of wisdom
Baked pottery shelf talker role models

Menopausal glaze
Hot flash flecks
Pepper tutelage as one who's been there

Tempering Spirit
All-Is-One
Earthen Vessels transformed when they fired the kiln

Mom always loved you best I see and now you're passing that on to us. You can go light on the hot flashes. Patrick

Sage, clay yet to be molded by the potter into a final form, unfired in the kiln and a pre-menopausal woman are kindred souls. Their final forms unresolved and mysterious still being shaped in time and place. Once they meet their destiny with the kiln and glaze the spirits of both are transformed. More or less fixed in design while their purpose is an ever evolving process. My sense of this artistic rendering. "And I'm sticking to it". I bid you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael

To me, this is a poem about an awakening, about respecting and inspiring one another even through turmoil.
But even if my interpretation is way off, I enjoyed your artistry.
Ever,
Christine
