UNSTAINED SHE STAINS THE WORLD

Creation has gifted me 

crying smiling coffee face

smirk of a stain 

new emblem for the real real
I made the face myself, first 
in the spring of my 
great heart leaking
I’d go to get the coffee
then hide with the coffee
then cry out the coffee
straight into my notebook
along with so many
unreadable words
now that I have the emblem 
and once I have learned to make 
the coffee consistent 
we will name our standby children
Earnest and Bashful
show them how to decorate 
windows with paper bags 
so the walker-bys
know how happy we are
inside
