Hand to mouth (J-Tea Tearoom)
It's amazing what happens
when leaves fall into your cup
an uplift, at the first sip
a memory, follows the second,
the third is it's own category
of weather.
I begin to remember her hands
skin vs. diamonds vs. silence
only found in a drink. she touches
the cabinet hinges, closes her eyes
and knows exactly what to give you.
