Time, Eyelashes and Bitter Coffee
Time simply slips by like
a lone fallen eyelash
floating on air
and swept away;
or,
islands of steam swirling
from hot, bitter coffee
evaporating into cups
filled with emptiness;
or,
prickly sensitivity once felt
as anonymous comes familiar
on the beloved faces of time
we see daily in our mirrors.

and when the eye lash
drops into the coffee
it's a prickly enough time
as it is...
