Tea with Just a Hint of Blood

 

Now comes an infusioning teafluencer

Armed with catalogues of adjectives

Herbaceous hyperbole cloying the page

With promises of transcendental bliss

 

The holy vessels of the altar shining bright

In glass and steel, accented with bamboo

In rooms green-lit by shaded window light

Unlike my best-remembered cuppa long ago

 

A beat-up canteen cup of Constant Comment

Along the Cambodian border that unhappy day
