Piece of Clay

here, in my palm, size of a plum
still warm - it came off moments ago
and if it had breath it would be mine
but it has none, and it's still mine

as a kid i heard the story
young jesus took a clay bird in his palm
let it go and it flew away

i am not jesus, i know
and the clay is going cold and grey
becoming a stranger first
then a thing
a bruise i bury under the petal snow
