The Porringer  (complete re-write)

Bottle by bottle the bowl fills
colored capsules chime
a piper's tune  
 
Casually, there comes
a poison promise
to break all others
 
Cross-legged on the bed
I stare into space  
no one's looking back
 
This crazy porringer
holds tomorrow in its orbit
a gravity all its own
 
To no one in particular
I say goodbye
a handful at a time
