the liquid holding a secret

the liquid holding a secret
a horse already born
an image within the glass
coaxing 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
these horses rearing
their legs to the sky

their bodies giving
the horses emerging
to the glassblower’s touch
to his teasing, coaxing
coming out of hiding
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
