before coffee

 before coffee 


before coffee

smoothing a smooth cat

coolio

listening to gentle piano

on the radio

on a pearl grey day 

in november 

not a breath of wind 

a leaf or two falling

with the piano keys

a whitening lobelia on a wet garden table

hint of blue in its blanching

crazed above a glazed pot

and of course that vacuous feeling 

needing

coffee and cake with butter

along an intake of a breath 

as smooth and cool as the smooth cat

waiting to lick the butter from my fingers

and oh to linger 

here forever and a day 

did i say
