Tea

Long drive on the Michigan plains
Tea and music and a new hand in mine
Passing the car cemetery --
hundreds of rusty skeletons
visible among the barren
January trees
dusted with snow. 

I drank Darjeeling
so you could have your choice.
You picked 
the moon
and
the stars 
and
the sun.
Cosmos
brewed and poured out
Held to our lips
Greedy somehow.
