Black Coffee in Handpainted Mug (Day 393)

too bitter 
to ignore 
the purr it 
releases  finding 
purchase on 
the porcelain 
glaze  cobalt 
perfection  
devoid of 
the grit and 
fingerprints 
one might expect 
on an everyday
object made 
of clay intricately 
painted by 
tired-eyed woman 
in a dusty 
crowded room
so far away 
I cannot begin 
to imagine 
the language
she speaks
in her dreams.
