CIVILIZATION COMING OUTTA CLAY CUPS
From the first time
we decided to make cups
it was civilization
Kindness cups
luxury libation on lip
bounty shared with kin
Like to say
witness our happiness, guests
with these taste tests
from our hostess
Cups, accoutrements for
convenience & ease
Wild pan dance dependent on
civilization, really, pressed fruit harvest
aggregate of agriculture, art & illustration helices
twining grape leaf flourishes
Drink, drink, eat, eat
Civilization like a condensate
Earth’s creation
Mud brick potter buildings
city hive womb–Nature
Bees looking out of windows
bees on balconies, hanging laundry
waving below, flagging arms o’er
Pedestrians
on the boulevard to
starlit energy nightlife
Firelight in their free time, slipping
by pillars of columns,
bridges and
libraries
