Tea Party

Lemon or honey

Steep or dunk

Sip in china

or slurp from mugs.

Once a genteel, social repast,

now we scald each other

with tea

Thoughts on Gulf of Mexico oil spill:

Poseidon enraged

Humans flee whirlwinds

while gods laugh,

sea weeps

Fingers bleed words

stained mockery

Voices in head taunt, belittle, dare

judge – forever judge

&  love always this fierce sweet madness

“Arbeit Mact Frei” or “Work Makes You Free” — the sign above the entrance to the Auschwitz concentration camp — was stolen by three youths in late 2009 who broke it into three parts as keepsakes.
