Ode to my cup

Your top edge
is geometry – 
a never-ending
finger-tracing
line.

Your inside 
is liquidity – 
a tepid spa
of chocolate
that I’d rather 
had been 
hot.

Your handle 
bends its elbow. 
Linking up,
I sip.

A tulip to my lips –
You are my cup.

And here I am holding it again as I read. Glad you enjoyed (and a cup is a lovely hand-shaped thing). Thanks for your kind words. J :)
