Encountering an Overflowing Light

Now, this moment, is flickering and mutable.
Every single one of these vessels is fragile.
I wonder what might fill them.
As young potters made the ceramic buttons in the center,
one way was right for that moment.
As I reach for a button to cast,
only one seems ready for that moment.
Lucy Rie also made buttons.
In the small world of the buttons, her experiments and ideas,
and the moments of her discoveries must be concealed.
