The Moment Before Tea (Poem)

some afternoons hover on the edge

a rough pottery cup falls from my hand

spilling dreams across the kitchen table

their brilliance saturates the wooden surface

as it turns live with colors previously unknown

rain drops transform into birds with glassine feathers

that fly through the smazy windows

in a dazzling glitter of reflected phantasmical hue

all vanishes as I retrieve the cup

tea is ready
