~ Wayfarer! ~
A
sugarless cup,
Of double shot coffee,
Reminds me of your bitterness,
That how you smelt raw, cobalt,
Of a sour, leaden countryside …
Your tongue tasted of metal,
Your eyes, so deep n’ dark,
Fingers as cold as long as the dusted path,
Your skin, remembrance of a lone journey,
Spent in the company of paradoxical larks,
And languorous leaves and barks …
I’ve traveled alone,
On this begrimed country road,
Much far, so far!
whew...some hard textures in your description of them...nicely done...the raw bitter metal taste..you really capture the essence of them...but also your lone travel...
