Tea, please

by 유녕

A big step into a slushy puddle

solid ice tricked me,

two days in a row


Letting a few

passers-by ahead

a gentlemanly facade—

only one does


It took a while

to realize


Swirling wind and snow

take my sights,

pull me back


One step forward,

thousands of steps back


They might close early

gotta hurry


An ache in my body

slows me down—


moonwalk


I look up at the street lamp,

fencing with the storm,

slashing light


Oh,

a hot shower might be nice!


Sassy cars pass by,

mock my pace


Whereas

the wind claps

each sluggish step


I walk into a cafe

through the storm


Tea, please.
