It comes out steaming from the rack,
with a fresh new spiderweb of a crack.
The blue rim is a jagged, broken shore,
where the finish doesn't live anymore.
My fork gets stuck in the unglazed white,
a little hitch in the middle of the night.
I’m eating cold pasta and staring at the wall,
waiting for the rest of the ceramic to fall.
