the connotations of a church chalice
Chalice
the smooth glaze
the way you can
cup it in your hands.
Covered with designs;
a story etched inside.
Teeth clinking
against ceramic.
How many mouths
have pressed here?
Stinging alcohol
wipes away all evidence.
Smudged fingerprints
cover the stem.
A special cup
connecting many
whether they like it
or not.
Drink up.
