Glassblowers at the Museum of Glass in Tahoma, Washington |
by Linda Bierds
And thinking of seconds--first time, of course, then
the hapless devoted to step from behind
with their handkerchiefs and swords, ready to give shape
to another's passion, as a body gives shape to a soul.
from one of my favorite books of poetry, The Seconds.
