ToggleA long pendulum dip
Followed by
Splattered drops
Like exuberant music notes
Curving here and there
Accents upon the pot
The fluid curve of the rim
Melding softly away
Signifying
The finale, like a flower
Atop a reed
Standing atop a slender foot
Its walls springing up, out, away
Embracing air
Open to be filled
Unbroken horizon
Like the earth from far off
