cold tea/longing

No. 1
cold tea in
tanin stained cup
Crown Derby

No. 2
longing for love
lost in the mists 
of another time

No. 3
cold tea abandoned
between cup and lip
her dementia...

No. 4
longing for
the peace that
solitude brings

No. 5
cold tea on a tray
sleep intruded before
it was finished

No. 6
longing for something
unknown, unseen, just
out of reach
