Trying to mold

Holding soils

With anew pressure shapes

Into what you think could be clay

But more often than not

Turns out to be mere mire and debris

Yet with your hands you place

And press and hope

For a holding fast of sorts

Which keeps until the sun does bake

But in the end

We are all just dirt in a once timely shapre

In the eyes of fate

Warming place
