A Bowl of Glass

Listen to poem:
Imagine, picture, if you will, a glass bowl, clear crystal -- a bubble. Create, therein, an atmosphere, diaphanous, of water. Pebble its bottom with small shards: amber, flint, obsidian and cloudy quartz. Introduce a coral branch and set a sprig, dark green, of kelpy moss. Disperse -- suspend -- a fishy population. Put in motion this tableau: habitants in bowl-bounded ocean -- flashing mauve, bright blues, pink, red, emerald and silver hues. And yellow. Regard. Then stow immobile bones bleached shiny white below.
