cut glass

Her mind is cut glass 
and diamond.

The former is
thought.

The latter is 
reason, sense,
or taste - whichever
is called impeccably
to the fore to cleave facet,
cut shape and depth, set face.
You can tell by a trick of the light 
besides, which of all of this 
is which - in a twinkling, 
a pinch, she will switch 
it all up and present
you  so many
gems, 

forthwith. 

It's 
a knack, 
an aspect of hers 
to amaze. She is eager 
to show and to fascinate, 
but her focused intent 
is hard clarity. 

She aims 
to extract something 
so exact, you 
can easily

see.

See?
