Morning tea ritual

one sugar, two sugars

cream

-

Morning kiss ritual

hands behind head, ruffling

hair

-

Morning jacket ritual

leather coat shrugged on, brace against

wind

-

Morning silence ritual

meaningless repetitious words, nothing really much

said

-

Mourning tea ritual

one sugar, two sugars, cream; we say farewell and

goodbye

Yet another poem that looks better on my blog. It's in the November Archives. Reviews appreciated.
