Take Away

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
