The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Cold Coffee

Nervous fingertips glide 
Across faded table top,
Leaving a evaporating trail
Like faceless ghost.

I study the streaks 
On the glass door;
With finger prints
That linger
Like unwanted vagrants, 
Also faceless. 

I listen to the
Hum in the silence 
And watch the dance
Of dead leaves.
And lifelessly;
I drink cold coffee.

Anxiety, fear are the unwanted vagrants; a deep write Charles, well done.
