Percolating

I always like it creamy, and a bit zestful
On the pallet with robusta flavor---
Yet, totally unsweetened  for now
When daylight  gulps in an ache; my coffee
Becomes bitter, nipping my tongue 
Like heated grain of yesterday’s spiels---
Angry mouths percolating in the kitchen
While she, in haste, rushes away.
