Sijo - Opject Lower Form (after Jin Eui Kim ceramics) 

A flying saucer lands on my shelf     it spins before my eyes.
Heft of a discus in my hand      waiting to be thrown again.
All revolves around the still centre        of your black pupil.

Ceramic Beauty Opject Spherical Form (for Korean potter Jin Eui Kim)
 
The Korean pot is frozen motion, the beauty
of its ribbed body invites visual meditation.
 
Sober colours, white, grey, black and pale
steel blue kiss each other beneath the glaze.
 
A tongue of light licks its smooth skin raising
a slick wet highlight on these perfect curves.
