Black Coffee By Arif Khudairi We have not Talked much lately. Neither have Our eyes. We do not Hold hands. We do not Now smile. This cafe is A bit cold. Don't you think? What do you like To drink? I will have Black coffee. How're you Doing lately? Mignon,my dog, Is a bit depressed. Nothing is new. Only children Starve to death. Are you seeing someone? Drink,drink. Your coffee Is getting cold. This cafe is A bit cold. Don't you think? It is raining outside. Winter is Not my favorite. Do you want Some more coffee? I do not know why I think Of Brasilia Right now. Is there A new thing In your life? I have not Written much poetry These days. We have not Talked much lately. Neither have Our eyes, Nor our hands. Drink your coffee. Drink your coffee.
