Setting

Setting

A Poem by Clayman
"

This is what i go through when setting a diamond into a ring for a customer.

"
.c. Gently i place the hollow throne
between leather jaws
and hammer in
the timber wedge.

The stage is set.

Hungry gyrator
lowered with precision
knibbles gently
when wiggled with care,
shaping hands
onto tender golden arms.

Starry eye
balanced on pins
clicks into place
when pressured.
It cradles justly.

Crowd stands silenced in awe.

Parallel grips
tightens the embrace.
Rotating whiskers
ready the king
for the baptism of suds.

Optic glass
dissects each angle
for analysis,
assuring perfection
upon curtains' closing.

A star is born.
