Anna Couani #10 glass workshop (nod to MM)

Kevin dismantled his
stained glass workshop
and retired to the country

I had feelings of déjà vu
standing in that workshop
remembering

all about the glass
and the lead
the kilns in the back room
of great grandpa’s
factory
just like Kevin’s workshop

I can see myself as a child
at the workbench

and also see the lead 

in front of me
folding lead
around the glass pieces

going through the racks
of coloured glass
ruby glass
like flattened gemstones

surrounded by saints
with halo carapaces
