My black mug sits on the table, watching me,
holds my drink, my cold water and hot tea,
my coke, milk, and coffee.
My humble mug: Silent, patient, loyal, lovely.
Fit for a king or queen. For heaven. To hold the sea,
the air, the creation. You will always be
an anchor in my life, the hero behind the scenes, the kindly
soul who offers to feed the need in me.
My ceramic wrinkled with cracks, filled with memory,
of touch and trust, you are as real as any
other meaningful reality.
