Ji-yoon Um

C A N  I  H O L D  Y O U R  H A N D ?


I have something for you
can you keep it close to your heart?

I place a chunk of clay
in your hand
rolled around
a smooth sphere
forms
our hands clasped 
clay pressed
in the empty
space of our palms
gently peeling
ourselves away
a perfectly
imperfect stone
wrapped
of our life lines
making visible
the invisible
