Cup in the Curio Cabinet


                      An empty cup daintily accompanies 
an assemblage of finery,

                    from old-world porcelains crafted 
   against Dutch Boy bluings,

                  bone China platters painted in 
     Eastern mystique watercolors,

                 cozy teapot, sugarbowl, and 
       creamer set in English rosewood,

                a stage concerning crystal 
         stems elegant Irish sultry charms, 

               anticipation ...
          what season be?
     what hour is it now?
what satisfies this void?
