COFFEE/BREAKFAST 2



How do your like your eggs

This hazy Sunday morning?

The hours lost in the folds

Of faded green cotton


Counting the lines depths

In your curved fingers

As they meld with my digits

The ghost scent of romance


A teenage dare of movement

Who will leave the comfort first?

The intimate human moment

Breaking the fast of solitude


If we sizzle the morning foods

Far past the single hours

Do we commit to continuation

Bringing in the expectations of tomorrow?


Coffee compromise, no commitments

A long day shower fills the room

Lengthening the hour into noon

No words, no troubles, just lattes


Monday... maybe... some honesty

That this is fine for breakfast

Is it dinner and family worthy?

Happy with burnt eggs and late mornings
