Tea Party

Gram loved sharing tea parties with her good friends.

Dropping In

(October 8, 1988)

The crumpled napkin by the place,

A drop of tea inside the cup,

A crumb or two, the chair pushed back

Where you moved it getting up;

A breath of freshness in the room,

A damp spot where you jacket laid –

I watch the rain come down and smile

And think about the change it made.
