This vessel's lip has caught
harmlessly that bright young
burning star,
and bound it.
An object of wonder,
it is shifting, blinding-brilliant
in gaudy scintillation
upon the surface.
Yet the depths that quench
extract light
which strathes in waves
of calm-continuous,
but shallowly contained.
Thirst flatters
an amphora in the sun.
