Burn a pot of jasmine tea for the guest

Let it cool

And then pour a tablespoon of crushed ice on it.

Take a closer look

The bitterness of the jasmine flower

And the ice water peeled off from the crushed ice

A trace of sweetness is extracted.

As soon as it falls on the tip of the tongue,

The strong tea fragrance spreads out a mottled carpet,

The coffee stains on it

The bread crumbs that have not been shaken clean

Slowly open the past sorrow and the sealed secret.

A familiar taste could bring us back to the past.

When even the scars formed by your mistakes
are you own constellations?"
