love or a silver teaspoon
A dark heavy red ceramic mug
as big as two
stretched from the pungent aroma
of orange pekoe to it's bitter taste
and back
with her silence.
my thick calloused fingers
grabbed the soft silver
of her grandmother's teaspoon
given to us on our wedding day
with care i mete out two heaps of sugar
from the fine china bowl with
tiny green ivy painted beneath its lacquer
to the hot tea in her mug
'Thank you,' she smiles.
