Scene In My Coffee Cup

from the ABC set Unordered Tales

All my boxes
are packed.
My little life.
Taped down.
In disarray.

This house.
Full of memories.
The saddest of things,
taking my breath away.

I sleep light.
Claw at the duvet.
Sit then stand.
A four in the morning summit.
A scene in my coffee cup.

I glance in the mirror.
Not long ago.
I did not know this man.
The one reflecting right here.

Such a troubled mind then.
The things I did to you.
I stumbled and we both fell.
I can now help you off your knees.

These new moments.
Will be all that matters.
