on a dark and drastic day
my desire filled the cup
that rested on the worn cupboard
like a rag tossed upon a counter
waiting for someone to pass by
find a use for it
cracked, but still usable
with a faded design
its chipped edges leaked
flakes of blue and yellow
quickly i grabbed it and
ran off
filled it with the hot, rich,
elegant coffee
and drank away my desire
