An ice cube
crackles
when submerged
into hot tea.
Hot tea swells
and descends slowly down
the esophagus
to a lake
in the soul.
“Letʼs warm ourselves up from the inside out,”
my mom would say
as she made us hot tea on a cold night.
Cold judgments and fears melt
when submerged
into thoughts
of family
nd home.
