Loess remembers winter

Thaw clay holds a flange like pottery holds a thumb.

A mat never does this. A mat glazes faces and teaches people that soles are cosmetic. Then April arrives and the 7-iron takes a divot the size of a tuition bill. We re-wet the bucket so you can watch the print change in one hour instead of one season. It smells like a riverbank. Good.
