Image: N/A

the empty teacup

son streams yesterdays
lady of those years keeps nigh~
clinking fetch astir

son owns two faint eyes
lady kept years eyes her son~
silver teaspoon rests

son eyes lady's room
stopped ~ curio stand lights up
son lost eyes to stand

silver teaspoon stirs
son holds Prince Albert's teacup~
soul sips into tears
