teacup

i pour the boiling water

into the porcelain cup

the steamy comfortable

scent of tea curls up

around my face

my eyes droop slow

a sleepy sense of worth

and music soft and low

caress my weary body

i sip the fragrant tea

and think about the past

what first drew you to me?

            sipping tea from this cup

always makes me remember

the love that you brought

to my lonely november.
