Good Times

LEWIS MILES, 1856

 

There is no pottery works

in all the South

as large as mine

in Stony Bluff.

Look here;

the smoke from our furnace

blows across the valley,

and people from all corners

of the land seek out

our pots and jars and jugs.

And Dave keeps writing

his messages and verses,

sending them into the world

carved in clay.
