a little sliver of now
an old woman in a scarf rocks a baby
back and forth in the sunlight
a man works a crossword
sneaking glances at the pretty baristas
Dolly serenades us with her trilling vibrato
the steel guitar adding a pinch of melancholy
your morning kisses linger on my lips
like the scent of flowers
everything feels infused with light
in this little sliver of now
