How Is It?
Cup of tea, dearie?
How is it?
I'm sorry he's gone, dearie.
You're better off without him.
I'm sorry too.
I'm sorry that you're gone now-
I'm sorry that you never
got to see the gratefulness I have
for each and every cup of steaming tea
brewed with love
and sipped in the afternoon daylight
among threads
of tangled stories.
You are still my-
everything.
