Desert Dweller

In the scented kingdom,
as they push through the snow,
first time feeling the sun’s warmth, 
spring plants must rejoice.

Soft, moist, malleable clay feels good
in the potter’s hands.
Do the potter’s hands feel as good
to the clay?

Peering through Venetian blinds
covertly observing the drafting table,
a good secret agent would find
an Exacto-knife to be just as effective
as a credit card
when cutting the enemy’s throat.

If you always do things beautifully, 
you will always be beautiful.
