Anniversary Coffee
 
On this side of plate glass,
the Pennsylvania sky threatens
 
no one, calms us with what we aren't,
such perfect summer squall the calm
 
we love in morning
coffee and split croissant.
 
Those behind the counter
know us and know
 
when to save what we want,
can order for us, smile at how we smile
 
at each other's drenched winsomeness. You are
not what I ordered but what I order now
 
across the café table, across the morning
spread with such delectable savor.
