Delicate

It’s the delicate 
for me the 
spoon on side
of cup the 
sigh and that
very first slurpy
sip of coffee 
making laughter and 
some off-color commentary 
about absent grace 
that prompts me 
and pardons you 
this silly morning 
dance this date
with dawn affection 
this pause and 
relief of relaxed
and quiet mood
