I never get enough March 18, 2024

 

I never get enough

Even when I think I do,

This soft landscape I land in,

Not quite a first bold step

Yet it stirs me,

Bringing me to a boil,

Waiting for that moment

Before it pours out,

Scalding,

Filling up with the tea leaves lay,

I sip slowly to keep

From burning up inside,

Needing to get down

To the tea leaves again,

And fate,

I sip deep the steam

Feeling it boil me up

Inside,

I can’t get enough,

Even when I’m overflowing,

The need of it,

How it moves

Around inside me,

This thing,

This abstraction,

I can’t live without,

Boiling me up until I burst.
