Brunch declares itself on chalk and board
eggs with ambition, coffee adored.
A citrus parade hangs bright and round,
while footsteps stamp their polka-dots on ground.
She walks through menus she didn’t choose,
past waffles, juice, and midweek blues.
Umbrellas gossip with passing air,
chairs sit idle like they don’t care.
And somewhere between “acai” and “roll,”
the city forgets—and remembers—its soul.

A very nice photo. Depth and light are perfect.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great shot, Roentare! I like how the weight of the oranges and signs balance the weight of the tables, chairs, and fence. And I love the young woman you captured, there and not there. I wish I had your lyrical gift, "footsteps stamp their polka-dots on ground," not to mention other great lines in your verses! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteAbsorta als seus pensaments, camina sense mirar.
ReplyDeleteSalutacions.
coffee signs are always good, I'm trying to work out what's on the rest of the wall though, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteUn lugar en el que detenerse a tomar algo, ya sea un refresco, un café o té y dejar que el día transcurra plácidamente.
ReplyDeleteAbrazo
She is a stylish young lady who is on a mission. Oh yes, I would love a Chicken Schnitzel Roll. Your photo is most appealing.
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for the compliment on my portrait. It is the highest compliment an artist can have. So again thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteCoffee and bahn mi, exactly what I need!:-)
ReplyDeletePerhaps, but I think she's sneaking a sideways glance at the menu and thinking how good.......
ReplyDeleteUna toma urbana magnífica. El blanco y negro y tu descripción logran que casi se pueda oler el café y sentir el murmullo de la calle. ¡Un abrazo!
ReplyDeleteGood shot. She looks happy :-D
