Comradery

Location

He wakes at five to brew the first pot of coffee,

Fully aware that he will throw half of it out.

Pungent sludge that oozes from the mug like molasses,

Today-as every day.

 

Fully aware that he will throw half of it out,

His enchanting words still hit the page

Today as every day.

"Good morning Papa" I chirp.

 

His enchanting words still hit the page.

I emerge from my own writing nook.

"Good morning Papa" I chirp again.

He meets my eyes and hands me a mug.

 

I emerge from my own writing nook,

Seeking my grandfather's solace and inspiration.

Our parallel routines effortlessly merge into one.

He wakes at five to brew the first pot of coffee
