Organic in shape, determined by man
Carved out of its space, hand guided by hand
Elegance molded by our fingertips
Imbued with the flaws we do not detect
Carved becomes carver, by soul we express
One’s self through the void, whatever is left
Through scraping and scores we choose to impress
This vessel anew, its curving complex
Not captured by math, each delicate groove
Within clay or wood, within me or you
