A.S. Coomer

black coffee blues

all the cups we carry
the sloshing of pell-mell life
like drunks on the last ferry outta town

montage of deja vu
whipping neck down
to check steam rise

the careful setting
of the same vessel
of the same sun & moon

backdrop drips indigo
a river of black coffee
drought stricken
gone too soon
