WHERE THERE’S TEA THERE’S HOPE:

I’m missing the end of an E,
Virtually burning,
Talking before speaking,
Walking before waking,
Silence inside the noise of nothing,
Slow burning halo,
Thinking too far ahead,

It’s about process,
Not time,
The room attracts inquiring eyes,
Adjust the light alright?
Can you see me?

A printed tiger,
A leopard dropping spots,
Cursing your luck,

Gathered round campfires,
Stories,
Conversations,
The softening of boarders,
Compassion
