The Second Cup
Mid-morning is the hour the day forgets it was ever asleep and leans, wholly awake, into its own making.

The Poem By nine the dew has finished
its small argument with the grass.
Emails open like windows.
The coffee, second cup,
is honest now, no longer
pretending to be dawn.
Somewhere a printer clears its throat.
Light has moved from the sill
to the middle of the desk
and stays there, patient,
asking nothing of me
but that I begin.
