Ji-yoon Um

C A N  I  H O L D  Y O U R  H A N D ?


I have something for you...

white clay rolls around
in the soft curves
of your hand
a sphere forms
where our palms meet
malleable matter
fills empty space
life lines of yours and mine
wrap and intertwine to reveal
a perfectly imperfect stone

can you keep it close to your heart?
