Today's Coffee Is Less Than Sweet
these thoughts
i'm sipping
are more bitter
than the coffee
i'm drinking
this morning
the past
is stirring
in swirls
of emotions
i try
to bury myself
in sugar coated dreams
but all that lingers
is the salt
from old wounds
i feel disregarded
like the grounds
from this old pot
as it pours
darkness
into my thoughts
