...that cloak its fetal position body;
caused by the lip of a bottle.
A tiny figure,
in comparison to the clear glass,
is still hugging their knees
within.

Emptiness surrounds me,
and to stop and think
about it,
and through it
would mean,
to acknowledge me.

The mold was created,
glass casted into the fire,
long before it had residence.

The joints of the body,
are featured to fold,
is such a secure fashion.

Logic choked the the child, cheerfully, within;
it left the body of the little one,
still dressed up in adult clothes,
in the papasan chair.

Sound doesn't shatter glass;
the silence is slowly distorted,
by the sobs of melancholy
within.


The bottle's empty;
I drowned in the emptiness.

this is so powerful. it's a quick glance into the soul of an empty heart. the whole thing screamed 'HELP ME' but it's one of those screams taht are hard to hear. " The bottle's empty; I drowned in the emptiness." great ending.

this is extremely powerful and the metaphor of the bottle/fetus is one that cannot be ignored. The guile of this poem allows for several thinks to work at once, the child element, the innocence, but yet the realisation of adulthood in a negative sense...

the comparison of glass blowing and moulded to the child born into a possibly hazardous predicament of alcoholism, or the destructive natures of it. This poem uses it's metaphors well, and doesn't embellish but sems to push out on an entirely new level.
