The emperor's tea




Small delicate

Exquisite scissors 
Of sharpened points 
Of fine burnished gold

They shine in the green slopes 
From the heavenly hills.
Among the peonies 
Swapped in camellias 

fragrant flowers 
Of golden stamens 
Pure white petals 
Lustrous and green leaves

enchantment of fairies
Gift of the ancient Gods 
Of the forgotten times 
To Emperor Tai Kang


Gently virginal hands
Affectionate cut out
Slowly, Delicately 
The tips of the magic 
Wonderful magic plants.

Ceremonial mugs
Translucent porcelain 
collect the little ones 
New tender flower buds 
Of April spring first fruits.

Braided wicker trays
spacious drying rooms 
receive the harvest
That slowly dries up 
In the veiled warm sun

Aromas textures 
are taking the point 
Accurate precise
Different unique

The Emperor's tea
