/// It is now 4 pm, Time for Tea.
Alba set cups for two, not for three.
But before she can pour,
Alma stands at the door
with an armful of pre-potpourri.
/// Alma plucks and prepares special blooms
so when dried they retain their perfumes.
Herbs she finds growing free,
can, when steeped with some tea,
make it her higher each sip she consumes.
