—here thick grounds settle at the bottom, promising prophecy but delivering only mud
The cup was small, the taste was fire,
A darkened pool of old desire.
It clung to lips, it stained the tongue,
A ritual sung but wrongly sung.
You tipped it slow, you swirled the rest,
The dregs were there, the omen guessed.
You searched for signs, a face, a key,
A hidden truth you’d fail to see.
The grounds just sat, a bitter smear,
No future spoke, no fates drew near.
You drained it down, the lie was plain:
The past remains, the future feigns.
A muddy cup, a promised sight.
No visions here, just sleepless night.
