2006/steam

Steam rising from the deck.
You bring me a cup
of green tea, steaming.
I hand you a bowl of oatmeal
with raisins, cinnamon
and honey. Topped with coconut,
it is steaming.
The furnace rumbles.
I hug you from the back,
not quite steaming,
and comment on the unique
yoke of your shirt, which
I have seen many times
before.
