Is it there
where The One
draws delight in taking food?
…in salivary glands
oozing in anticipation?
…in nostrils where waves
of coffee aroma break?
…in taste buds
dancing in appreciation?
…where time takes its time,
slows to savor?
…in the alchemy of ease
as friends gather
…and eyes embrace
companions at table?
