How to be precise

     kurdish black tea with rose & cardamom from Murî ( rating: 3.6/5)  not usually a fan of astringent black teas but i liked how deep its sapidity still was, righteously balanced with the floral.                                                        Slicing ginger root yesterday urged me to consider why the verb "gingerly" is derived from the plant.

Every time I feel close

to understanding the world

with its pears and its wine and

its softness and its light and

its hysteria and its fresh butter

And I shall rejoice to put my clogs on 

I shall laugh for running to the moor

I shall smile for bleeding 

I shall revel in the organic drunkness of life

But as my clogs begin to wear

my feet become wooden

the kettle starts to steam

at the end of the moor, 

i shall walk into the sea

and i can only hope 

it will choose not to drown me.
