My tea portrait

i love you the most
when I pour
the cup of tea
for you

you are busy
on your mobile
not looking
at me.

I find
myself
the most rhythmic
in pouring your tea.

you can
even drink it cold,
doesn't matter,
you are immersed.

I love you
even in your forgetfulness.

  1. I remember your presence
    As I forget the tea
    Or numerous things
    Happening when we are
    Together

    I forget that
    The bathroom light is on
    That the hot water
    Is lying around
    For tea bags to be dipped

    I forget
    Sometimes on purpose
    Sometimes out of habit now
    But the forgetting has a memory

    Of you remembering me
    And of you knowing
    That I forget
    And put the butter toast
    In my mouth
    Before I remember that
    I forgot.
