Mea Culpa
Mea Culpa
Stain-glass panes where Laptop images dance
With my platform a coffee sutra
Surrounded by flamenco fan skirts
That unfold like pleated kilts
Where I sit like a Buddha
eyes glued to the golden light
Who approaches with steamy heat in hand
And apologizes for my lost time
so sweetly it sounds
More like a romantic entreaty
Than a concession of the territory
She makes her own
Stain-glass panes where Laptop images dance
With my platform a coffee sutra
Surrounded by flamenco fan skirts
That unfold like pleated kilts
Where I sit like a Buddha
eyes glued to the golden light
Who approaches with steamy heat in hand
And apologizes for my lost time
so sweetly it sounds
More like a romantic entreaty
Than a concession of the territory
She makes her own

Your coffee bartista is a lovely subject of your cleverly penned poetic admirations.... Such classic, beautiful sentiments that really come to life within your stylings, John.

My darling Blue, thank you for your lyrical words on my Barista homage. She kept her smile going even while apologizing for the lateness in bringing my coffee. Her grin made the late coffee irrelevant.
I am doing ok. Dealing with health issues but under control. My daughter-in-law was carjacked and brutally dragged across the parking lot resulting in many serious injuries. So her family has been on my mind a lot.

Ohhh my, what a horribly sad situation. 😔 I can definitely understand that your extended family remains in your thoughts... I'm sending out my best and most potent healing wishes for her, you and the family as a whole.... ✨ 💫 ✨
I'm glad your own health issues are being reigned in and under control, my friend 🙏🏻
Take care of yourself... thinking of you.
