Barista

Her face is a grimace,

Concentrating on coffee, not looking up.

I don’t know her name,

But a lock of hair falls free,

Drifting down from the heavens of a loose ponytail,

Landing oh-so-softly on her delicate cheek.

What I would not give to brush it back into place!

But instead I just take my mocha and walk outside,

One heartbreak heavier.
