There Will Be Coffee Today

On Sunday mornings

Morning coffee on the balcony

There will be coffee today when the sky is pale

And gauzy with the scent of rain.

Pouring amber from painted porcelain

To warm and to wait,

A moment for the rumbles to pass

And the sirens to fade.

Until there is only sugar to shake

In the quiet,

That is enough to keep the world at bay

To stir in spots of milk

And thought

Before,

The stilling sip and sighing taste

Of early mornings and better days.

And here I count the ways

I start the day,

In spots like this,

But not as precious, not as fine.

Or as mine

To watch the coming rain.
