tonight i sculpted a back
not life-sized
–maybe three-quarter–
and somehow
i got it not quite right
the back was receding
as if just then turned away
and headed off to parts
unknowable
insert remark about
having seen enough backs
in that position
engaged in that act
of abandonment
that i should have been
able to push that clay around
blind

Where your brilliant mind takes us next, no one can surmise…
If you keep calling me brilliant, I’m going to need a bigger hat 🎩!
You’re going to need a bigger hat and pants, too. 😜👖
Ha ha ha! I thought you were going to say something about my engorged beak!
All in good fun, darling. 💋
