Coffee

sits off center on the walnut table
black waves spill over the lip
words flit
stirring conversation
mist to the dreamer of the lone cup of coffee



Different Days

For days now I've sat
At times lie down
Paged and tapped a pen
Busted an urge with felt
Turned the shards to cotton candy

Saw it snow sugary
A carnival  of bolts and straw
Leading me to the beer tent
Tankards and blanks
Four different days I've sat
