portrait of a cafe
portrait of a cafe
the one who is steaming milk is bright.
the one who watches is light.
the one who is light balances, watchful.
the one who is watchful is light with expectations.
the one who is steaming milk is bright and spicy;
she sparkles on the wooden floor of a mocha room.
the one who steams and the one
who waits are together in a wooden mocha room.
the room is warm and silky like mocha,
inviting and cradling both
the one who steams and the one who waits
for lunch.
