Catharsis

 

Ideas become objects;

we become what we sculpt

 

He, experimented with soil,

and got an Adam

 

We experimented with silt,

and got robots

 

She fancied a replica of him,

inside of her, and ballooned with delight

 

he formed her into a book,

a goddess, that the alphabets of her essence

be worshipped till eternity.
