Rough and straight
knotless
a perfect platform
yet formless
a keen eye stares
callused fingers
and boundless time
carves the form
cylindrical elongation
tapering to the jaws
at first quickly
later deliberately
repetitive scratchings
eyeing the contours
shaving the space
immaculate third dimension
thought forms
clarity emerges
blossoming in smooth detail
insanity prevails
an artist’s prize
and bread
more are to be hatched
endless craving consumers
the mastery
sold frantically
negotiated to nothing
form joins its plural
catching an eye
fierce pricing
reluctance to part
a deal is made
finally
upon my wall
staring down
two perfect faces.
