Mud Pie Vision

Looking down I see it round
and brown seeded by a
slight to right, sinistral blight
a concept wrought of power fought
with blurry top

maybe it's a volcano, someday
to build it up, that's the way
mud or clay?
of which was Adam made?

I forget it's been so long...

the magic lay in making
something out of nothing
(if you don't count the clay)
but there's no nothing left at all
no more nothing...

making a mountain... pyramid or tower
out of something then, anyway
patting, patting, form it round
build it up from solid ground
make it pay, form it hard, firm and round
let it bake as though a cake
but no volcano still, a dead molehill
smash it bash it start again

not for now, not alone
lucky beasts
perhaps next time
some rip and flow
volcano!
