Faith by Karen Neuberg

A foggy glass globe
to carry like a small creature, beating

heart, body warmth. It disappears
into the daily, into the wars

and fires, into the weeping and floods.
I think it lost but then it unexpectedly

returns, surprising me
with its familiar insistence.



Karen Neuberg’s poems and collages appear in numerous journals including 805, Canary, Epigraph Magazine, and Verse Daily. Her latest chapbook is “the elephants are asking” (Glass Lyre Press, 2018). She lives in Brooklyn, NY
