You breathe in.
A kiss:
how do you take
your coffee?
I prefer it sweet
and warm
against my lips.
I breathe in.
A story:
coffee grinds pour out
into wet garden soil,
later staining the clothes of my
kneading daughter.
She prefers water to coffee,
sober and clean,
though
studying dribbling coffee like
a drip of morphine.
How do you take
your coffee?
I reply.
A revelation:
most mornings I make it fresh,
but the *** brewed overnight
somehow tastes sweet.
