another love poem








from love poems

10 Glass 

 

it’s the repetition that calming entrancement

he feels   he believes   the vibrations on his skin

the shifting tension of plucked wires travelling

through him as if the music were a stitching

at times pulled taut then loosened   unravelling

an undoing    a solving and dissolving   a liquid thing

running underhand molten   resolving to such clarity

the understanding an entrapment of an ephemeral integrity

 

made from natural and abundant raw materials

(sand, soda ash and limestone)

that are melted at high temperatures

to form a new material   a metamorphosis

 

imagine a pane of glass

those grains of sand

made whole    a holon

10 fingers 10 toes  

dropped
