TEA BAG
Sometimes we are like a tea bag.
We’re in hot water
- and the hot
is coming at us from all sides.
We’re hurting. We’re feeling “Oooh!”
for the moment - as the heat seeps
into us and we are changed.
Then someone picks us up -
in a cup - and takes a sip of us -
as they go, “Uuum. Nice.”
It’s then we know - the meaning
of the old saying “It’s in dying
that we are born to eternal life.”
