For Tweetspeak’s prompt under Bottled & Canned. Which was August’s prompt. I’m a little off.
Mint
I put my secret in a tin of tea
because who would look for a secret
in something so everyday?
I buried it at the bottom, so deep that even I forgot
until the day my silver spoon
scooped out the last bite
of mint green leaves
my secret
safe in its “cool and dry place”
just like the label said
still zero calories
