A Bowl by Jenifer Dittelberger


A plain bowl

A fancy bowl

A cheap bowl

A dear bowl

A bowl full of fruit

A bowl of rotted meat

A bowl in which I shit

A bowl to throw my coins

A bowl of my tears

A bowl I smash in rage

A bowl in which I wash my dirty feet

A bowl with oil to anoint my head

A bowl with a dead fetus

A bowl of milk

A bowl to catch my vomit

A bowl with broth to heal

A bowl with the Savior’s blood

A bowl with the enemy’s blood

A lump of clay which will be a bowl

A bunch of broken pieces which were a bowl

A bowl I love

A bowl I hate

A bowl
