the liquid holding a secret – v4

the flesh of the glass, alive,
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 liquid glass he held

the changing, molten glass
wooing by his hands
the creation already present
hidden within the flesh
needing to be revealed
hidden within the fire
these horses rearing
their legs to the sky

their bodies giving
moving, shifting,
the horses emerging
from within the flesh
to the glassblower’s touch
to his teasing, coaxing
coming out of hiding
coming 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
