Salt Shaker"Cylinder slides in sausage fingers;
I wait on you every meal.
From lead to feather I lessen my load—
There is not a lump I will conceal."

When We Were MadeWhen we were made from clay,
Our lax bodies shrines to something greater,
Some ancestors' tissues held velvety:
Smooth, soft, like wet earth and silk.
