the coffee
is so nice. it is
so nice,
so nice,
kick of cardamom.
girls play
beach volleyball,
white globe
arching, arching,
side-fist-bump up again.
severed pomegranate,
crimson insect crunch.
forgive me,
I started drinking
without you.
you say
shalom,
your eyes the blue
of the sea,
your hair
a flood of coffee.

Explanation: A poem that was part of my MFA Creative Writing manuscript, in which I wrote poems about cities that have staged the Eurovision Song Contest, or taken the name of a song and written my own piece inspired by the title. I have received a mark for this body of work now, so am sharing the poems here.
