scent

of oregano

pu-erh tea tree

flowers

and thyme

on my fingertips

  1. Open the jar;
    smell the tea
    as it simmers
    in deep time.

    White flowers fall;
    green leaves climb
    past my tongue,
    into the sun.

    Steam chases thought;
    the kettle crackles
    with cupidinous heat,
    chafing to pour.

  2. I love this poem…!
