The Morning
The shutters rise a little before the street remembers its name. Coffee darkens in the pot, and a spoon left on the saucer catches one careful thread of amber. In that small sound, the day begins to become itself.
a day becoming memory.
The shutters rise a little before the street remembers its name. Coffee darkens in the pot, and a spoon left on the saucer catches one careful thread of amber. In that small sound, the day begins to become itself.
By the middle hours, sunlight has flattened against the tables and the record has found its softest groove. Conversations drift between booths, never urgent, never complete. Outside, bicycles pass like brief black notes on a staff.
Twilight enters without asking, turning every glass to honey and every face to silhouette. The clock above the counter carries its two hands patiently, as though time were a guest who might still be persuaded to stay.
The final cup cools beside a folded letter no one opens. Chairs are lifted, lamps are lowered, and the room gives back its shadows one by one. What ends becomes a place to begin again.
