The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
Ode to Glass

Melt and think not of diamond bliss
Fuse[1] and show not your sapphiric asterisms
Be the globulistic and aspherical
Flare your unique constellation 
the sacred taming of iconoclasts
your ruddy wrinkled complexity 
the beauty of your inclusions
and myriad rutilations for
even rust makes clarity golden
and free to colored be
as we pour over centuries into
the universe's scars and ravines
the unseen places polarized by need
we engulf in our macrophagic creep
generation upon progeneration
we dissolve into destiny's ocean
to be cast upon the shores in the
polished pearlescence of triumph.
