You left it where the mint runs wild
Beneath the weld-scarred steel pile
Ceramic rim drinks iron rain
Blooming rust on glaze terrain
Mentha spicata claims the handle space
Roots embrace the ceramic face
You watch the oxidation crawl
Latin names for every sprawl
Ferrous bloom on porcelain skin
Iron wakes where coffee been
You trace the veins of rust and clay
Life eats the mug you left today
Seasons turn the backyard green
Mug becomes a mineral scene
Chlorophytum arches over
Shading metal shade and clover
Ferrous bloom on porcelain skin
Iron wakes where coffee been
You trace the veins of rust and clay
Life eats the mug you left today
No harvest comes from this decay
But beauty grows in metal gray
You whisper names to feeding root
Life finds a way in iron soot
Handle fractures falls to loam
Ceramic shards find fungal home
You record the date and p
H
Nature reclaims what you set free
Now the mug is soil and stain
Ferrous bloom on root and vein
You sip from cups that hold no ghost
Only growth matters most
Ferrous bloom on porcelain skin
Iron wakes where coffee been
You trace the veins of rust and clay
Life eats the mug you left today
Ferrous bloom returns to earth again
Porcelain skin drinks iron rain
