(The freshly roasted Yirgacheffe smelled so good when I ground it that I thought about taking a snort…)
These words I write
are not for me alone.
I pour a little red wine
on the ground for the ancestors
on both sides of the Atlantic
and down on the bottom
whenever I take a drink.
We always keep a little extra
tea inside a special tin
in the china cabinet
for the nieces and nephews
when they come around.
It is the same with words.
Thank you for sharing your gift......reminds me of a biblical tradition of leaving a little extra in the field for others. (Boaz & Ruth) When you share our minds are broadened! "It is the same with words".
