a visiting plate

i find a dish
in the cupboard. it's not mine.

it came
at some point
with a slice of cake upon it.

or cookies wrapped
tight.

it's a pale blue plate,
of china.

delicate, with flowers around
the edge.

a small chip too.
which gives me pleasure.

finding 
joy in things imperfect.

i'd return it if i knew
who it belong to,

but there are so many to
choose.
