I Want to Be a Teabag

Aug 20, 2017

I want to be a teabag
I want to sink into hot water
and feel my bones melt
Coloring the water
with sweetness
or spice

I want to let the heat draw
all of me
Every last taste
into presence
until I have nothing left

I want to be squeezed
and thrown away, knowing
I offered all
And all was taken
