Green Tea

A cup of green tea
sits beside me
staying warm enough
to feel less than hot
more than tepid

I take a sip
and a small part of China
enters my body

I look at the mug
an Indigenous Australian
painting of a crocodile
enters my mind

the Scottish water, tea-flavoured,
still warm
heats my stomach

I am green tea
global
green tea, content
