Tea
Tea with milk and sugar
in a tall glass at the kitchen table
on a rainy afternoon
she had hers in a mug
always the same mug
I had my grandfather’s glass
he didn’t drink tea with us
he slept in front of the TV
she was already little
I never was tall
I liked the smell of boiling water
I took the sugar from the pantry
I watched her raise her arm
to fetch the glass and the mug
we used the same tea bag
we both liked our tea weak
we never really talked
we read together
we played cards
the milk and sugar
covered the taste of tea
it was sweet and warming
just like her
I don’t put sugar or milk
in my tea anymore
I can do nothing
but miss her
