Veni Creator Hominis

Might it be touchable?
This fancied clay between my hands
that I would twist and bend
and in a sometime moment, 
manifest desire?

If, indeed its authenticity
is now confirmed in passion to create,
its own self will blend
between the fingers of my mind--
and only at its most illusive 
feign default, and fail to coalesce.

I shall see it, 
breathe it in my nostrils, 
shape it as a mirrored act of God,
and fall upon my face in terror--
at success.
