OVER TEA

Over tea.

Cup of tea please.
Spill it
as they share a sip of tease.
a glance to him, should she commit—
or wait for hot herbal to ease?
Spill it
as the sugar cubes freeze.
test if his heart will fit
and be locked with her keys.
twirl mindful spoon of thoughts as they sit Spilt. an empty tea cup is all he sees.
