A big thanks to Jennifer Wong for including this pome of mine in the TORCH A Personal History of Home digital anthology:
--
Glasswork
The practice of a new art form
drew me in, glassblower active
molten bubbles, like bygone days,
when science was unknown, smidges,
sparse studio, an ancient home,
I lived there, I worked there, shelter,
forgiving furnaces, spawn, flasks,
The fusions, new worlds for research
The plots and schemes of synthesis
inked my brain, silica fanfares
