moment

on a dry hot windy day

when I have a hard time staying cool

i'll cut cucumbers and pluck mint twigs from

my little cottage garden

i'll slice lemon with love

and squeeze it into ice cold water

drop, and hear the clanking of metal spoon against

my glass tumblr

i'll slurp my sweet drink

smack my lips

sit on the footsteps in front of the threshold

contemplate my mind into being still

listen to the soft drumming of my beating heart

enjoying my moment
