A single drop shines on her cuff.
A tiny dried sauce dot sits there.
"The cup is steady," she says.

The small folded tag sticks under it.
A messy sand line runs on the tag.
The mother gives Tara the thin cloth.

A felt square ahead is clear.
Tara sets the shell there.
Two shells click, soft.
Its rim dries pale.
