in a cafe somewhere

 in a cafe somewhere 


afraid to move

it was still there

the poem he had just written

memories as a stream 

tinkling over shiny pebbles

plinking the coffee cup stains

he fingered those friends

the circularity of smiles

in coffee grounds

steam on the windows rain outside

no tears

they were 

there

once


a poem for stephen
