Coffee break

Ice, spoon, swirl,
The sudden breeze distinguishes the burning ashes, levitating the golden crema, as it settles.

Breathe in, swallow, breathe out,
eyes closed,
the flavours flood my mind,
the curtain closed,
the city’s bustling sound voided,
and my strained forehead rested.

I refuse to allow the mundanity of life take away the enjoyment of living.
