Books and Coffee
a golden brown roof carved into square tiles
shelters old bookshelves that touch the ceiling.
the owner pulls a book from the top shelf
and rearranges the stacks with effort,
knowing exactly where each book belongs.
he makes me an iced peach latte.
each sip is more exquisite than the last.
