rain rubs the spoons

There's a tea shop in town that sells the very sexy teas of Mariages Freres. I visited there often about a year ago just to smell the teas, and rub the leafy crumbs around in my fingers. I wrote some poems about the different varieties, but then threw most of them away, leaving a series of fragments. The short series is up today at Fraglit, a journal of fragmentary writing.

& in case the tea's too bitter, have it with some hilarious cake.

Thanks Nic & Charmi. It's an interesting journal. I havent read everything in the issue, but I also liked the Pond Poems so far.

The names darjeeling, oolong and puur are wonderful, but chandernagor and jiangxi truly conjure a cure for my rising yang and unblock my day.

Thanks

What lovely poems. They evoke the actual tea shop, which I was lucky enough to visit in Paris a few years ago.
