Plate,
world's
most vital disk,
planet and planetarium;
at noon, when
the sun, itself a plate of fire,
crowns the
height of day,
your stars appear,
plate, upon
the tables of the world,
constellations
in abundance
and the world
fills with food, and the universe
fills with fragrance,
until work
reclaims
the workers,
and once again,
the dining car is empty,
while the plates return
to the depths of the kitchen.
Smooth, perfect vessel,
you were spawned by a spring on a stone.
Then the human hand
duplicated
that perfect hollow
and the potter copied its freshness
so that
time with its thread
could insert it
forever
between every man and his life:
one plate, two plates, three,
ceramic hope,
sacred bowl,
moonlight precise within its halo,
rounded beauty of a diadem.
