Latte Art

You can't pour from an empty cup they say,

so I fill my cup with coffee

during the start of the day.

My confession

is that it’s a little obsession,

espresso with its

warm, earth-like feel.

Steamed milk swirls,

as I pour it into the cup,

watching it dance,

while I fill it up.

with a flick of the wrist,

I end with a heart,

made of latte art.
