Glasses

February 4, 2008

You’re like glasses
Hold water, see farther
See through you and shatter
I lost you then found you
A spare, draft another
Kissed the wine, bent a wire
The layer and layers
have snapped in my fingers.
Coarse sands into glitter
the hands they have tempered.
Transparency and clarity
in a man and a wonder.
