It’s 5:00 pm

I soaked a teabag

in a boiled water

added honey for flavor

and blended it

with peppermint.

Left it to become steep

in 10 minutes

and sipped to relief

my heartaches.

Mother told

it could be taken up

four times a day

to cleanse my nerves

and detoxify my system;

I would take it by the gallon.

Thank you

for being

my teabag.
