I make things in metal

I make spoons. I make jewellery. I make vessels.

I make precious objects and objects precious

Making things makes me want to make more things

I make tools to make more things

My hands remember

The hands of my father

To make requires the thoughts that arrive from not thinking

I think about how I’m going to make thoughts metal

My hands remember

The hands of my teachers

I make from the earth

I think about how I can make things that make more time

My hands remember

The hands of the ancient smith
