I’m the glasscutter.
With a di(A)mond wheel g_l_i_d_i_n_g in Oil,
a single stroke /
opens a fissure ----------
I gently Tap beside the line
deepening the grooVe
until with a ~twist of the wrists~
I separate /
the glass as planned.

Amusing subject for Dirty Pretty, or it's a very deep metaphor I'm not getting...I get a sense it would be very disturbing.

It is very mater of fact to a process of cutting glass
particular with a curved edge
I'm using this as a ritual to fantasy magic deep metaphors are welcome

What a fascinating topic (almost as barmy as writing about cream eggs, eh?) ... I rather like the way you've set this one out as it keeps the reader focused and the first line and the last line compliment. He gets the job done!
