inside the Painted Lady Café
we sip coffee while a man nearby
devours a stack of pancakes
outside the sky is a Miami blue
on this August late morning
before we continue our journey
we leave a tip for the waitress
on the green marble table
to enjoy these last summer days
- Written for dVerse Poetics: But no, a butterfly
I used the butterfly names: painted lady, miami blue and green marble.
