Tea with Hephaestus

December 6, 2020November 17, 2020 Constance Bourg2 Comments

Watching the hands of the crafter
who fashioned me

I see that they are shaking a little
your golden servant in the corner reflects

hands clutching a tray with cups
steaming liquid added

too hot to drink comfortably
at the table where I am sitting

the table where I was born
the crafter limps towards me

stone walls bear down like
harsh words from disappointed parents

you did not have much choice in the matter
a ringing in lame ears

sounds like moulding pressure
to the obedient

I have a strong wish to forgive
the many gifts of relatives

things that linger for a long time
in the blood. — Created with GIMP
