the ritual begins
the tap/the kettle/the flame
the whistling/the same/the same
every time the same
the leaves/the pot/the pour
put the top on top
and wait to steep
refreshing as a sleep
the pour/the steam
refreshing as a dream
adding the milk, drip by drip
the stir/the puff/the wait to sip
the lenitive properties
of a cup of tea
restoring peace
sustaining me
