I have
a single coffee bean
for a brain today,
caffeine and steam
grind together
until
drip-
dropping
down,
they soak my tongue,
causing me to lie
shaking in the
deep brown hammock
stretched between
exhaustion and energy.

From my favorite poet:
“I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing as though I had wings.” ~Mary Oliver

I like it. Coffee is a great energy boost and pleasure, but too much of it can really sweep us into the hammock. Great verse! Blessings…

I don’t drink coffee everyday, but I’ve definitely witnessed its hammock powers! 🙂

This is too good. Can’t live without it, can’t live (sometimes) with it. I know that place between exhaustion and energy well.

Those weeks that reek of coffee do give me a greater appreciation of the sweet-tea-on-the-porch days. 🙂
