~Cappucino~

cappuccino bread
and coffee
soaking, melting
in my
mouth sugar-sweet
and fragile

in the pale sun
shadows creeping
on sneakily

worn out buttons
leaves like
mosaics it's
like deja vu
and I
feel calm
just breathing

leaves are
filled with
a sparkling
singing light
that fills the
blue spaces
in between, slowly,
so slowly

everything moves
in slow
underwater motion

you let go
so easily
teach me
what I fear

just one
more sunset
to see

now I'm
skeptical of
pretty lies
hoping to
be good enough
a book
forever unread
no real
reply

the trees
keep letting
the light in
so bright
it can
hurt your
eyes
