Rain Drops and Coffee Stains: A Poem for Cozy Days

Rain
Stains

Somewhere
between chin on hands, elbows on table

and
the rattle and whistle of the world’s kitchen,

I
breath coffee. And know.

I
exist.

Somewhere
between the dream of I will

and
the thought of I want,

I
snort sugar. And laugh.

I
walk.

Somewhere
between the bedroom dance of nine o’clock dark

and
the tone of an incoming text,

I
touch ink. And see.

I
find.

Somewhere
between the cat under the bed

and
the gurgle of one hundred year young pipes,

I
smell dust. And remember.

I
live.
