tea
the first cup kisses away my thirst
and my loneliness is quelled by the second
the third cup gives insight worthy
of ancient scrolls
and the fourth exiles my troubles
my body becomes lighter with the fifth
and the sixth sends word from the Immortals
but the seventh, o the seventh cup,
if i drink you,
a wind will hurry my wings toward
the Sacred Island
(Lu Tong, 798-835 CE)
