Fields of Poetry

I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
I've been changed. Yes, really changed
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else . . .

The Tea Cup


The tea cup, brown with little green maple leaves

and sprinkles of gold

imprinted around it;

this tea cup that you bought for me,

I held it lovingly in my hands,

thinking of you soaring in the scarlet sky.


It cracked.


The hot water spilling --

burning my skin.


And my heart, it weeps

as I wiped the table clean.
