Background
A description of the experience
A GLASS
Shaped by a hand for wine
Two centuries ago,
Why does this tapering glass
Recall man's other face?
Towards the delicate mouth
The universe is drawn,
Touches, and eddies down
Towards the delicate base.
Balanced upon the brim
The bubble of space and time;
Between my finger and thumb
I feel the single stem.
