i sip my coffee in earnest
strong, vapors rising
funnel into the seat of my brain
and spreads like summer wildfire
rousing dormant imprints you left
like when your lips swell, smiling
the sugar and cream browning
the sacred cup you drink
as you look up in my eyes, melting
in silent conversation.
these thoughts warm me up
when i sip my coffee in earnest
in the manner we know so well
when i remember you
by the balcony.
