Glassblowers (Free verse) by Christof
I am just a tourist.
I gawp as men behind a grille,
Paid to spend their lungs in glass,
Blow globes and bowls and jugs
And swans, each one the cask
Of someone's breathing.
In the shop
I cradle in my hands a life.
All breakages must be paid for
And I can't afford the price.
