by hoof (they/them)
To master tadelakt
the Cadillac of plaster
first
the first task is fast…
much faster than the last
Choose your hue
with which to imbue
inorganic goo
ochre? maroon? blue?
You cruise through a few layers
laid down under wood peel
yields a toothy feel
preened in steel
for a creamy seal
HURRY!
Wait.
wait. wait.
…
Now!
Palm rock hard rock
agatejaspermoonblood
stone and soap
slide up oil slick sides
stone and soap
slide up oil slick sides
stone and soap
slide up oil slick sides
a shower
wall
is born.
From muddled garbled marble sand
from limestone to lime to stone
a pristine gleaming sheen
From Dolomite to aggregate
from delicate to tadelakt
pat yourselves on the back
you’ve mastered
the Cadillac of plaster.
