Such a beautiful poem about such a humble thing.
I tend to buy coffee cups for the Mrs. When I'm on a business trip and want to bring something home from the place I'm traveling to.

Hey Gang,
This one's almost hot off the presses. Now I can go play my favorite RPG. Woot!

Grail
It seems a nothing, this coffee cup, purchased
at our uttter breakfast home. I'd always loved their mugs,
their wide ceramic mouths and handles with their buxom hold.
And on my birthday unremembered otherwise my mother
gave one to me, with "Hob Nob", that haven'sname
imprinted on the vessel's side; so ennobled
by the heart and hand from whom it came it is,
ceramic chalice, cup and grail, it's sacred as the laughing earth,
and communicates my birth and homely history.
Such honeybee gifts, tiny wise, and splendid with trove
tell sagas of house and heart-minted gold.
