van Gogh's Tea Cup by Nicole Barth [12/26/15]

You are the sea of watercolors
in the bottom of a porcelain tea cup;

the infusion
of lavender and indigo symphonies,
serene in our microcosm...
and, I, your eddy.

I have always been the fresh water fish
shifting the current in you; floating through
rose petals and chamomile tea
in an infinite loop.

And together, we are the ocean's expanse,
forever rising and falling as one.
