the liquid holding a secret – v5

The liquid holding a secret,

a horse already born;

An image within the glass

coaxing from its hiding.

Brought from its hiding

from the love of the shadows;

Alive within the plastic,

the liquid glass he held.

The changing, molten glass giving

wooing by his hands, his fingers;

The creation already present

needing to be revealed.

Hidden within the flames

these horses rearing;

Their legs to the sky

pulled into the light.

Their bodies giving

moving, shifting;

The horses emerging

to the glassblower’s touch.

To his teasing, coaxing

the future self emerging;

Coming out of hiding

coming into the light.

like milking silk – v4

Drawing them out

their stories, their truth

a hidden agenda

behind their eyes;

truth to explain

hidden, silence,

that which going on

the things yet unspoken.

Like milking silk

coaxing each fiber

each strand, each story

from deeper within them;

More to reveal

in the colors within

the truth yet hidden

in time revealed.

the white of the screen

the white of the screen

the images flowing

captured on their eyes’ lenses

like a mirror reflecting;

The words of the test

the screen at an angle.

seen at an angle

the flickering images

a jaw clenched/released

in time with the reading;

No knowing how well

they will do.

marbles of amber – v3

Each memory,

each experience

not a thread, a fiber,

pulled from the ether,

like in Harry Potter;

More like marbles,

like insects dipped in amber

held within my fist.

Each one holding

a discrete memory

some moment of my life.

All of them numbered;

I know them all, familiar,

I can recite them by heart.

I would know instantly

if any of them were missing;

there would be a vacuum

where they had been.

I hold them all in my memory.

Some that are painful

are my favorites;

Please don’t ask me

to let these friends go.

stories looping

stories looping, the tape playing

scripts that have been memorized

repeated, repeated over time

the same role players, the same villains

familiar in the retelling, word for word

touching the crystals, gaining power

feeding the next generation

fighting their reviews

stories looping, the same words repeating

comfort in that which is known

the same stories familiar

able to speak with passion

the words retrieved from memory

touching the crystals, gaining strength

to share the power, the words in memory,

the images revealed within each story.

about whether the horse in the liquid glass

was first in the mind of the artist or within the glass itself

marbles of amber – v2

Each memory, each experience

not a thread, pulled from the ether,

like in Harry Potter

more like marbles,

like insects preserved in amber

held within my fist.

Each one holding

a discrete memory

some moment of my life.

All of them numbers;

I know them all

I can recite them by heart.

I would know instantly

if any of them were missing,

there would be a vacuum

where they had been;

I hold them all in my memory.

Some that are painful

are my favorites;

Please don’t ask me

to let these friends go.
