Handbuilt Ceramic (Stoneware) Glaze Fired to Cone 6 and a Reclaimed Woven Pillowcase

Mend, Mending

Torn apart

The weaving always

frays

Hemed before,

Hemed behind,

Over and over again

Never reaching

Always striving

Stretching,

pulling,

tearing

Shedding

wrong

Chasing done

Moving farther faster

Heirloom process

Hope chest progress

Stitch and tighten and clasp

Bridging self

The dissident gap

Reduce and reconcile

Never Attaining

Sanctification Seeking

One forever Mended
