Of each
Dinner plates -largest
Cups and saucers
Dessert plates
Salad bowls
Soup bowls
Sit on crisp knife
Creased linen
Finally
Alone
Chosen carefully
With some tears
A raised voice
Now perfectly
Positioned
Translucent
Vulnerable
Never to be joined
By the other tens
Instead used
In wonder and sacrament
Until consigned
To a top shelf to
Wait until the time
Is right
as other priorities arrive
One tumbling into the other
As dust finely gathers
And a cup drops and shatters
