Plastic Prints

pressed into the clay
the marks of the potter
God molding our dust
with hands, with fingers

the loops, the arches, the whorls
visible upon me
in my inmost parts
the ridge patterns evident

latent prints also
invisible to the naked eye
but still there written
God’s hands leaving a mark
