Impromptu

the power
of my mind
allows me to
shape the clay
made from your
dirt and my tears

confused
thinking i was
using Colombian
marble pressing thumbs
and fingers shaving flakes
and pieces making a stone idol

idly buying 
by using pesos
to purchase that
which valuelessly is
time itself which is timeless
and when finished will sit atop

my 
mantle
a memento
molded not knowing
might what the ending be
in abstract i see her flesh figure

in
mud
