Glass
Words of a poem should be glass
But glass so simple-subtle its shape
If nothing but the shape of what it holds.
A glass spun for itself is empty,
Brittle, at best Venetian trinket.
Embossed glass hides the poem of its absence.
Words should be looked through, should be windows.
The best word were invisible.
The poem is the thing the poet thinks.
If the impossible were not,
And if the glass, only the glass,
Could be removed, the poem would remain.

Beautiful glass items and a fitting poem. I especially love the simple beauty of the Bauhaus ice cream glass.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly! I adore pomp & circumstance > but the vessel that can hold the many facets of an icecream concoction is sublime!!!!!
ReplyDelete.....and I expected that you would, it is of German origin LOL +++
