Dear Lover,
If
you are empty
I am open
a lock is nothing without a key to close it,
a saucer needs tea
like sugar needs a spoon
a model does not both
pose and paint
think of
dissolving sugar, sweetened teas
Matcha whisks and sheltering saucers
ceramic teapots and crochet coasters
a heat that creeps from tea to saucer
a warmth spread by a sweetening spoon
what is a journey
without someone who wanders
if sometimes a pair
is made of two
