“untitled”

untitled


the girl who sees the rain
sees your death in the steam

sees the turning of the wheel
the clear note of a bell

the steam
not having risen yet
tells the story

while the wheel turns
putting you on the bottom

the bell
final
tea's ready

the heat can burn
her tongue
the pain away
