Grasp the
fingers around the shape
and hold it at
arm's length,
largest eyes
outward. Practice
this movement so
it becomes natural
as breathing.
Or place a
hole through the top third
of the potato
with a wire
or nail. Lace
a string through
from side to
side
side
to side.
Double-looped,
tie a knot to close.
Around the
neck or in a pocket,
the potato is poised
to hasten
bad blood from
the body
and move
people who harm you
away from your
inner circle.
The shape of a
potato is not coincidental.
Starting at
one point, you
return to that
point in time.
Beginning and
end being basically the same,
you are forgiven
for stumbles, for
The first step
is always next.
