Bathroom mirror
my coffee tastes burnt now
Scorched tongue
Charcoal in the back of my throat
Choking on smoke
and spoiled cream
Coughing up memories
Cannot scrub your smile from retina
No matter how long I stand brushing teeth Staring into bathroom mirror
Cannot erase hands from waist
Fingertip’s pulling
Purple and blue
Skin fused
Nostalgia tissue paper thin
Torn
By spilt coffee spoiled cream
Tender
Fragile
Open
