Two hands move in meticulous manner
as they guide ten fingers that grip and flex
on a pliable substance formed and shaped
into an upright being of unknown sex.
Wrinkles abound from much concentration
on a furrowed brow under trickling sweat
and this fixation goes on without fail
lest one becomes fatigued in need of rest.
Steady pupils are focused intently
on every necessary detail seen
as requiring further skilled refinement
to obtain flawlessness beyond belief.
Granted needed rest are both arms folded
as composure heightens in true fulfillment
when the results finally come to light
and command absolute astonishment.
Dimples appear in an absence of shame
on both cheeks framing a smile most pleasant
from the creator and its masterpiece
face to face in identical likeness.
