The Coffee Pub

When we walked up to the door of our favourite coffee pub

You tangled your fingers around my own

And with a twist of my wrist

We went in

 

We order our usual from the usuals

The baristas never changed though the drinks did with the seasons

As I pull out the exact change from my coat

You shake some melted snow from your hair

 

We grab a seat at a nook by the window

There was a ring of dried coffee on the table

I fill it in with my mug

You joke it’s my OCD but I say it’s my love for the unappreciated

 

We listen to a woman with a guitar at the makeshift stage

She strums off a couple chords and sings with her lips

She fades into the background as I turn to look at you

Your eyes are closed to turn up the volume

 

I close mine too and let the music direct me

My mind swims like a trapeze *******

I sway with the strings and strums

Your hand grasps mine as I fall into the safety net

 

The guitarist is packing up

Our coffee or what’s left of it is cold

You lean over and

Two angels kissed like sinners

Two sinners kissed like angels
