I don't drink coffee so when I am in the cafe for my poet residency I sip on herbal teas, one of which is called tea party. I just wrote this today so as per usual, this is a first draft. Please offer any commentary you might have.
Tea party
A party of tea
Tea discoing down my throat a do I
look hot
Shimmy
giggling with the remnants
Of tequila days past
Tea streamers
tickling nostrils
Lingering come and get me and
with a flick
Of
hair
Tea booty
shakes in a flourish of teapot
And cup
Action
Even the saucer gets a lick
Warm and giddy tea drums my mind – faster faster
Then
Slow – lights up after sex
cigarette plumes float in my belly
tea
drunk I am spent but
tea tea parties on
