THE COFFEE CUP

The coffee cup

With the residue

Of the black coffee

Drunk last

Remembering the lips

That was scalded in the heat

Transparent, glass

Unbroken.

Near it

A mobile phone

Dead with a broken screen

A green pen

With smoothly flowing blue ink

Trying to inscribe itself

On the sheet.

Things that you do not see

In the mirror

Are close by.
