iced green tea

1.
sugar coated intentions
drip into the tea;
dissolving pearls
sink to the bottom.
Amber glow lights up
your face
2.
landfills of black ashes
clumped in the bottom
unfurl into dead leaves,
fighting against
floes of ice
3.
(clarity in truths
bind more than
release)
4.
condensation
proves diamonds
resurface
upon outsides
of glass walls,
crystallizing
our thoughts
