drinking tea past midnight

it’s tea now
in those late night hours
moving slowly toward dawn
to ease the mind
not numb it
with whiskey
a peace sought
much needed
these days months years
as the clock ticks
mercilessly
toward the hour it stops
and whatever awaits
is finally here

    • I’m not so crazy about it either. That’s why the clock in my den where I write does not make any sound. It’s just there to remind me when to eat dinner.
