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
