"Maté"or "mate" is a South American plant brewed into
tea, often prepared in elaborate gourd cups with straws. Viggo
Mortensen often drinks maté during interviews.
Maté
Tea for everyday, maté for remembrance.Echoes of Ophelia, and Swann. You can't remember all the time, that way lies madness. But sometimes forgetting is worse.
The taste of maté brings it all back.
How his arms can be hard and soft at the same time. What happens when you laugh whilst fucking. Tenderness that melts reserve, that makes your heart unfold in your chest like a flower. A rare smile lighting up any room. How he goes quiet sometimes, needs to be held. The smell of dirt, tang of sweat, taste of semen.
Some people cry in their beer.
