Espressos and cocoa
Fill the a.m. doors
Coffee beans and honey
Pastries and olive oil
Cinnamon incense
Fresh from the writer's novel
Lavender presence
Fresh from the poet's collection
Directions and reflections

Mysteries of feelings
Solved through letters and songs
As the orchestra blends
More cultures dine in
Unfolding pads and pens

Our minds elsewhere.
An interesting kiss
Somewhat forbidden
Not thinking clear
Stop. Stop. Stop.

I wasn't really sure except for that.
The man was tall with short dark hair
I can't recall exactly how dark or how short
but he clasped the woman to him
She had longer hair and it was lighter than his
(Blond? Red? No I'm fairly sure I'd have remembered red.)
And I don't think

You yes you stain me
Deeply
Like tomato sauce on the good china plates
Like red Georgia clay under fingernails from summer sun work
You yes you stain me
Deeply

Though thoughts of death continuously plague me
I cannot fathom a reality without them.
As large as a boundless sea of cliches
I've cried
The desire yet no will.
Here denial does not exist.
The escapes of myriads.
At the edge of a daunting
