Almost weightless before
filled with a pot-poured
brew – under-sized for a
mug drinker – pinch that
handle without your snap
of bone china – salivate
in anticipation of a sip
across that gold rim – A
saucer [spills-ready] is
held below – you’ll look
at a hand-painted flower
on that pot – art of tea
by a long-dead dabber of
cups – service continues
