K Is for Kiln
Jack molded the clay in his hands, slick, soft, pliable, curling past his fingers with the turning of the wheel. The sensation of wet clay was immediate and real, coating his fingers, filling his nostrils with the smell of earth, the smell of his home. The act of forming a useful vessel from shapeless matter was satisfying, the creation of something good from a mass of potential.
But there would never be a kiln for this beautiful pot, never a permanence to its making. Every day, he started anew. Every day, his work was undone.
The constant loss was terrible.
