#1409 - a Cummings teapot

a Cummings teapot

ekphrastic for Elizabeth Cummings’ 2001 ‘Teapot’

 

pencil and pen

 

a whole geography guessing

 

child lines could go anywhere

any thing or one

 

there must have been lines before

take on the eye and shading

 

so much one might not notice

but that we’re where we are

indoors

 

day darkening

 

jug or pot

 

I love all this folding in

as if still life

were conversation

 

a place from which

 

cup to touch

 

there’s still time

 

should I be mother

and pour?
