today (and everyday)
you are the master Potter;
i am wet malleable clay
form and fire me into
your image, as a vessel
both beautiful and useful
like porcelain pitcher
and wash basin, to cheer
and refresh weary travelers
to shine, elegantly off-white
(my basin be slightly crackled)
fill this pitcher with holy water
lovely and ready on wash-
stand, eager to humbly serve
dusty people where needed
a poem in my pocket
