Full
The clink of ceramic,
the thud of liquid filled vassal set down.
Shakakakaka – then the tinkle and
the rush like a shimmering albino snake
fluid and smooth.
An ivory sea studded with floating islands
set in the ceramic of one of three – the other two filling with tears
as the lips spread into a broad curve.
Crusty fragments falling, floating
like so many arid chips of yellow.
A chrome swoop tapering.
A dull rumbling vibrating.
Full.
