Diane sips tea with the lake
with the air
fresh morning tree squirrel secrets
scamper and butterfly over their retreat
the mountains
Tea with mint, if you please
waiter nods
slips between the hills
she notices are cow and spring
draped a music
Over the land spread
out below our sky
the tea's sweet waft mirror glass cutlery
busy sounding silence
eyes meet flowers
Replaced glasses filled by fireplace
his birthday eyes avoid
sips the tea illegally slowly
below our eyes
dancing breath
Between lovers held shut whispering
conversation around Diane resumes
a gale, maelstrom unsure and kissing
us our eyes shut
away tea scent
Over hills through oceans and buried
Alice watches police arrest the neighborhood
druggist carried away kicking
screaming protesting his innocence
flushes Earl Grey
