Tuesday's Steam

A chipped blue mug
sat at the base
of this old box.
I saw her face.
Her hand held steam,
a Tuesday bright.
A simple scene,
bathed in soft light.
No shadow fell,
no knowing glance.
Just ordinary time,
a fleeting chance.
The glaze, the chip,
a memory's art.
The day I missed
right from the start.
