Parkersburg, Iowa
The cup rests in saucer with coffee. The light of morning reflected in ceramic cup, saucer, spoon. Oh cup, stop reflecting. Quit anticipating my fingers and lips. Rest, cup. Rest. In your saucer. The round and rounded indent holds you just right. Be at peace with your cup-ness With the coffee you presently hold. It is hot enough. It is dark enough. It is full enough. The supper supped and will again. The pourer poured and will again. Be still, oh cup, in your saucer and rest. And know, you cup, that you are a cup and that the pourer returns.
