Transparent Wall

A scene-led poem about Glass.

Sand enters the furnace and forgets its old shape. A blower turns breath into a shining vessel. The window admits light but refuses the rain. My reflection floats over the street beyond it. One stone can reveal how tension lived inside. Glass is clarity taught to remain breakable.

Transparency does not mean the absence of a barrier

A second poem approaching Glass from another angle.

A blower turns breath into a shining vessel. Transparency does not mean the absence of a barrier. My reflection floats over the street beyond it. Even glass keeps more than one meaning in view. What lets us see may still keep us apart.
