Unwittingly from a pretty pot
I'd poured a night of stirring, steeping
but sleeping not
Inhabitting now night's draining cup
I lurk lukewarm at bottom
soaking stale stuff up
And right back through those pores I bleed
and color dawn with too much me.
It tastes of rust this cup of tea.

When will you be writing a book?! I love the way you choose words and are willing to share them.
