When I stare at my black coffee
I see the other side of the universe
A swirling galaxy upon the mirror of space
When I stare at my black coffee
I see the a still lake of darkness
A surface above the bottomless abyss
When I stare at my black coffee
I see a face, haggard and baggy
Unshaven, wired, aflame
The unrecognisable man
I have become









A well written confessional piece. At first I was going for stargazing themes, till it hit me with the last stanza. A touching write! Well done, knight!
Thanks. I love my black coffee. One of the greatest discoveries of human beings.

Powerfully penned, James. Another excellent write my friend. Self-examination can be cathartic at times. Just my opinion. Amazing read. Appreciate you.

Yes I see many things in black coffee. It’s the one thing I will never stop.
Coffee is cathartic
