can you see it, does the
artist
the liquid holding a secret
a horse already born
an image within the glass
coaxing it from its hiding
from the love in the shadows
alive within the plastic
the changing, molten glass
the creation already present
needing to be revealed
hidden within the flames
within the liquid glass
these horses rearing
their legs to the sky
their bodies giving
the horses emerging
beautiful, perfect
as they always were, giving,
to the glassblower’s touch
to his teasing, coaxing
coming out of hiding
from the shadows
into the light

hidden within the glass
in response to question
about whether the horse in the liquid glass
was first in the mind of the artist or within the glass
itself
