Sisters, how beautiful you are
pursing your lips to the rim
of hot cups and blowing
soft breath to keep from scalding
sweet lips that now offer prayers
…of thanksgiving for you, thanks giving for me…
Brothers, we are in need
of healing, ministering to each other,
hands gripped tight, loosening
on handles to be held
on the hearts of each other
…on yours, on mine…
Oh once, hotness could have burned us
all the way down
to pit of our stomachs
for need of this bond
and scarred or numbed us
…in need of you, in need of me…
Look, we gather over stained tables
bent over different blends
looking within the glasses
hoping to see our future
reflected in the eyes there
…your eyes, my eyes…
Perhaps we needed to be ground more
to make this partaking richer
and more appreciated by our thirst
as we waiting for destiny to brew
and draw us to this blessing
…the blessing of you, the blessing of me
Come, sip with me in the land of our mother
cream and sugar, iced and steaming
we are wonderful in our differences
sacred in our sameness’s
blessed in our togetherness
…you mine, me yours…
