Not sure if I have posted this one, but it was inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem that starts "I cannot live with You."

Dusty Cupboards
I’ve never owned a cupboard
or a shelf
behind which life exists
dainty gold spoons in
Irish teacups wait
to stir
Punchy stink of must—
insists on my reverence
cracked plates on the shelf
whisper to me about
failure
which persistently sits
on a veneer of dust
