A Moment
blurred sounds of traffic
flow past my window
lazy curls of steam
wisps of green tea
with it's shades of lemon and leaves
curl themselves around my thoughts
idly stirring
my conciousness
with random thoughts
that slip away
like melting sugar cubes
at my feet
a curled up calico
chortles in her sleep
the sun fading in
over the horizon
blazes suddenly through the frail china rim
in a transfixing flare of brilliant translucence
and I am startled by the moment
