Cilantro Tea
Green and murky
Herbal aroma
Paints our disheveled den;
Two empty stomaches speak
As water bubbles
Cilantro Tea
She pours my cup and
Then she makes her a cup
We sit in the dark
Sipping this tea tonight
The first thing our bodies
Feel is nourishment,
At last
Cilantro Tea
Calms
Energizes
Connects two broken
Halves of a promise,
Completing a wishful silver ring,
That we don't speak of
Within dark silence
Sipping fortifying
cilantro tea.
