tea pales in porcelain on pine

pining for a

            distant time

the broken slide

                from the treehouse

abandoned behind the shed

left behind

            left behind

                        left behind

how unkind the bland world can be

and yet how warm and bright it can turn

when the grass grabs the light.

Thank you, S y l v i A 🌞 K a l i n A . My last line is your first if you feel like playing along Stanley Wotring, David MacGregor, Mary Pierce, Francesca Bossert

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.

My last line is your first. The Monday to Friday Poet, Alma M., Marissa M. Zhu, Jozef Cain, Jonathan Potter
