to see a teacup;
inhabit vessel'd fragility
porcelain to stone
establishing boundaries between worlds
water & wealth
grain to gold
hollow waiting
to see a hammer;
discovered tool
of
trade or tempest
destroyer
creator
we hold these truths
precisely poised
to see a seagull;
empty
untethered creature
compassed to ethereal imaginings
searching for shore & sun
finding only solitary vastness
blue
to see a ballet slipper;
ribboned feminine
inhabit vessel'd fragility
precisely poised
ethereal creature
becoming something more
