i know every corner in this place --
from house-made mocha
the pastel pastries and
speckled mugs
to the weight of the space you take
behind the counter
your fingers brush mine
steam on styrofoam
and a smile so soft --
all espresso eyes and smooth jazz
the grind of the beans and your laugh:
my soundtrack
it's the coffee bringing me to this place,
it's the caffeine that makes me shake,
it can't be your brown eyes
keeping me awake
