SUNDOWN
the coffee is too bitter, I drink you
chew your temper and swallow it down
expose your course hands, slipping off my gown
tender they know me, but trace me like new
careful, don’t wake the house, don’t make a sound
the coffee is too bitter, I drink you
chew your temper and swallow it down
morning light paints your face, pray it’s not true
you cradle my face, press away my frown
sun peeks in, she whispers about sundown
the coffee is too bitter, I drink you
chew your temper and I swallow it down
expose your course hands, slipping off my gown

I love the repeated lines, and especially love”your course hands, slipping off my gown/tender they know me, but trace me like new/careful”
