Used Green Tea Leaves

there they are

splodged

stuck in the infuser

washed out


these once magical

sticks and strands

offered the promise

- always delivered -

of a moment's grace

and serenity

like a cliche where compassion

meets clarity and calmness


now sodden and ready

for the compost heap

their manmade purpose served

impermanence exemplified

in the joy of a few sips
