Tea Party

Maggie Devers

The hand of god

Sips with the divine pinky up

Holy water served

In antique china cups

First gently blowing

Not for the heat

But to make ripples

Still, the liquid warms the same

Even for the dolls who

Have yet to taste a drop

The imaginary need not look real

To be felt

Creation is not just what we see
