the fragrance of hot water
 
settling on tea leaves

Midsummer morning—
 
while the trash trucks ply the streets,
 
I savor my tea.

After my birthday
 
I linger a bit longer
 
over morning tea.

After-breakfast tea
 
steaming in my chipped blue cup—
 
nearby a wren sings.

Second day of May—
 
lightning and thunder and rain!
 
Fresh tea comforts me.

White hyacinths bloom.
 
We linger over breakfast—
 
tea and buttered toast.

First day of April—
 
two travelers trade stories
 
over cups of tea.

Winter solitude—
 
my white cup has no handle,
 
yet it holds my tea.

First day of the month—
 
I savor long-done journeys
 
over steaming tea.
