Espresso

Poetry by | September 8, 2013

Trembling fingers hold
This brimming cup.
Coffee staring blankly.
Mirrored silence.
Bitter taste invades.
My tongue, no longer
Tastes. Scent of bliss
Lingers in my veins.
I drink too soon, cup
Upends, its contents
Spilled in my lap. Reflected
My soul and my heart.
