A black teacup filled with Earl Grey
and smoking under a gray sky while thinking on my balcony. The black and gray reflecting back on a day that had slipped away. Tumbled by time and way off track and thinking through torturous thoughts, looking behind- back in my mind. The air floats with a spicy scent, whiffs of clouds wisp upon the breeze stirring the freeze within my mind, knowing the change is for all time. Earl Grey triggering the dark trip through a mind trying to forget. Spartan choices made within pain of that, which life just had to claim. Trial o’ trial and more yet to come realizing it’s never done. Shredded and bagged like the Earl Grey left to float in life without hope. Hung by a string in scalding hot, knowing that life has forgot to remove the pain from the cup-- remembering-remembering. Steeped within that which will not quit dripping with the drops of the lost memories that came with such cost and trying to find the right place where time will erase all the trace of the grief that is dripping wet. On my balcony smoking death, seeking the last breath of past times.
