Take Away
Nov 12, 2021
Poetry: Real Time (Almost) Volume 4
I take a sip
Of black tea
To remind me
Of the strength
Of your willpower
I take a more serious drink
As a consideration
Of what doubt and despair
Might bring
To the less well travelled man
I finish off
The final dregs
Was it with choice
Such debilitating choice
That we promised each other
I look out to the mountain
Recollecting
The bungalow in the plantation
Where words for you
Where all then that mattered
