Cape Town café
drink up it's gospel brew
as black as ink
and I will ask you
what you're thinking
how you're feeling
is my love only in theory?
does it mystify?
look plainly at
your hot cup of gloom
watch it stimulate the tongue
and give away
fidelity's holy fire
that once lit the fuse
of addiction
within the skin of this burning man
