Steam rises—
a soft lift for the day ahead.
The first sip bites, then melts.
The grounds dark and disintegrating,
fading like thunder rolling
through last night’s sleep.
Bitterness leans into comfort.
Half-awake, i am in love
with this dissolving dream.
“Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.”
– Anne Morrow Lindbergh
