morning's first coffee,
always the best
unless you buy cheap.
you find the level
that water rises to
and then you do your dealings.
drink, a symptom
of the cool
that eases into soul.
your landlady
knows your dealings
better than yourself,
she'll jump out
onto a limb
that has already blown away.
she'll kiss your tracks
like her lips are her brains.
