——-
tea pales in porcelain on pine
pining for a
distant time
the broken slide
from the treehouse
abandoned behind the shed
left behind
how unkind the bland world can be
and yet how warm and bright it can turn
when the grass grabs the light.

Clenching moon in its teeth, tide-slick, salt-thick, cedar. Blue-spill s t a i n s; palm pools with room. Still shivers— tea pales in porcelain on pine.
