tea and cake

tea and cake


while I never acquired a taste for honey
wednesday tea with Megan
was always the week’s high point

her sweet cakes sometimes a little dry
made smother by the sparkle of her eyes
joy in her voice

many years have past
now I make my tea with sugar
when waiting for water to boil
I’m found longing for that romance
which was always out of reach
