AMAZE
Karen L Newman
 
Spatial Glass Blower

Psalm 33:6 “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.”

God spoke
into a long
blowpipe of molten glass
that hardened and shattered in a
big bang.

His breath
blew the sharp shards
into a mosaic
of moons, stars, comets, and speckled
planets. 


Mermaids' Tooth Fairy

She flies -
gossamer wings
carrying away tears
of human sadness to mighty
oceans.
