Inside creature

The glass encloses me.

I share tetrahedra

with other particles.

My lap is silicate.

A local order beams

to form a non-crystal.

The glass exhibits me.

My pliancy has tongues

and sounds do detonate.

My face is moving charge.

The world beyond the glass

cannot detect my frame.

The glass unfreezes me.

I try so hard to pose

as one being with heart.

I cry on other motes.
