I check your posts online just to hurt my own feelings.
Your moments of humanity stick out probably too much. Like a dog with human eyes.
You figured out my cheat code. Never actually leave and I'll never close the door on you.
Leave me waiting and I'll continue to wait. Say you'll be right back and I'll never stop watching the door.
Like a dog with human eyes.

Tea
by Leila Chatti
Five times a day, I make tea. I do this because I like the warmth in my hands, like the feeling of self-directed kindness. I’m not used to it — warmth and kindness, both — so I create my own when I can. It’s easy. You just pour water into a kettle and turn the knob and listen for the scream. I do this five times a day. Sometimes, when I’m pleased, I let out a little sound. A poet noticed this and it made me feel I might one day properly be loved. Because no one is here to love me, I make tea for myself and leave the radio playing. I must remind myself I am here, and do so by noticing myself: my feet are cold inside my socks, they touch the ground, my stomach churns, my heart stutters, in my hands I hold a warmth I make. I come from a people who pray five times a day and make tea. I admire the way they do both. How they drop to the ground wherever they are. Drop pine nuts and mint sprigs in a glass. I think to care for the self is a kind of prayer. It is a gesture of devotion toward what is not always beloved or believed. I do not always believe in myself, or love myself, I am sure there are times I am bad or gone or lying. In another’s mouth, tea often means gossip, but sometimes means truth. Despite the trope, in my experience my people do not lie for pleasure, or when they should, even when it might be a gesture of kindness. But they are kind. If you were to visit, a woman would bring you a tray of tea. At any time of day. My people love tea so much it was once considered a sickness. Their colonizers tried, as with any joy, to snuff it out. They feared a love so strong one might sell or kill their other loves for leaves and sugar. Teaism sounds like a kind of faith I’d buy into, a god I wouldn’t fear. I think now I truly believe I wouldn’t kill anyone for love, not even myself — most days I can barely get out of bed. So I make tea. I stand at the window while I wait. My feet are cold and the radio plays its little sounds. I do the small thing I know how to do to care for myself. I am trying to notice joy, which means survive. I do this all day, and then the next.

Looking down on Hermit’s Rapids in the Colorado River from about 1000’ above it. Once I got down there, I sat on a rock to watch the rafts go by. It looks so small, but that river is at least 100’ across at the rapids! (at Grand Canyon National Park)
Side quest to the Tonto trail. I’d love to do all 95 miles someday! (at Grand Canyon National Park)
View from my pillow Sunday night. The Boucher trail was tough, but so beautiful and desolate. (at Grand Canyon National Park)
