Caffeine's Contribution
house
silent around me
wrapping its wadding closer
blurring lines
perceptions softened
coffee cup in hand
i feed the mill of words
the shot of caffeine
needed
to begin the flow
and feed the poetic furnace
between sputters
i read the works
of those poets
i admire most
and wonder
if a second cup
will open the spigot further
