cream light on polished stone
A tiny table of brass ticks, green leaves, jasmine notes, and cup-warm weather.
Steep until the fan opens
Three turns of the spoon. Two leaves rise. One pale blossom rests at the rim like a moon.
Sunlight along the trellis
Marble shade cools the saucer; brass seams keep the ledger tidy.

the garden table becomes a map
Cards drift into little terraces: some under frost, some above as labels, all aligned to an invisible path.
Eight blossoms face west by afternoon; a ninth considers it.
Warmth held in leaf veins
Petal cream toast
Cream, honey, jasmine breath, a pinch of brass-colored pollen, served on the marble step.

The almanac closes softly. Dew returns to the pane, and the greenhouse keeps its friendly numbers for tomorrow.
