Coffee should be black as Hell, strong as Death, and sweet as Love - Turkish Proverb
She set two demitasse cups on a tray
covered in basil and lavender sprigs.
On one cup she slowly writes "amore"
and breathes in the scent of Paolo's rooms.
Bella researched this recipe for years,
and found one scrawled by a village midwife
who divined paths from the liquid mirror
for strangers who imported cardamom.
Bella added dried orange zest for good luck.
As she begins to drink this nightly coffee
she holds his labeled cup in her left hand.
Within this scent of bazaars she's serene,
and recites Neruda's Sonnet 7:
time spent with poetry is not lonely.

There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
