Figures, animals, empires,
a jungle of words
layered into a hive
where no guide is needed,
just the marker for ‘A’.

Take a gander into the cup
See how they pool at the bottom,
writing out their sights so clearly,
leaf by leaf?
Only the finest china is used for this,

Tut, tut,

to a charlatan’s crystal ball reading.
And no,
that is not a wonky cross.
