Bedside
the liquid lip   such
 rapidity     her
comfort
damped in 
lightly-steeped tisane 
of earth 
of bough
 of leaf 
the scent
 the chest 
inhaling  home
choke greediness by hand
 and let the thermos
go   with the small pot 
 have the single cup
alone
 
a lonely poem x
ReplyDeleteA lovely poem. With sadness and magic.

ReplyDeleteOh I love being alone, but it does mean the sadness has room to sleep on the other side of the bed....
