" A Practice " by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
A practice still in use undoubtedly practically fool-proof
wheels turning already in use spindle bottles spouted jars
cups and goblets buff-surfaced pots polished products
hippopotamus artists matt dark copies high tech qualities
moulded carved stitching and knots mimicking basket weaving
cultural prehistory markedly distinct swirling motifs
full-bellied cooking vessels found in burials high head dresses
ox carts mounted guards earthenware jars filled from the top
incised ivory white fired peony designs ciphered and incised
literature alike scrolling vines cobalt oxide appealing widely
new-found style inspiring refinement much prized
flaring sides second firings leaf-green iron
increasingly out-of-reach decoration in relief
external treatment long periods horizontal ribbings
armed with spears wreath motifs figures seated
hounds leading revivals of cities relegated increasingly
ceramic bodies flower pots development from the squat
handles on top flourishing marbling dipped in the slip
nearby clay pits narrow rims twigs in kilns chafing dishes
horsemen musicians stimulating interest...
