Coffeeshop

the white rocking horse greets
remnants of happier times
coffee mixed with tea
a bun of coconut jam and butter
crispy warm
inviting dark and light
sweet like a gentle gesture
of hands on hands
aching sweet
not what I'm used to. Aching.
sixty years on the walls
reminders that things change
but we remain old inside
an old haunt
a place for lovers
family
and friends
