Throwing
Whirring and grinding
pressing and touching
moist and bending
wanting to be made
into something of significance.
Pulling and pushing, grit between fingertips
Globs of slush on wrists
Wheel between knees
Forehead crunched
concentration no equal
Glowing and piercing
the sky with feelings,
wind the illusion of moving
pride in the doing
teeth sparkle, cheeks blush
pants and shirt splattered,
show what you’ve done
your face does not deny it.
