Description I’ve slipped through the cracks of your table again.

Your coffee was left undisturbed
         but I could not help
                my stomach on your shoes
        or my heart pulsating to small gasps on your sleeve
             your patience as slow as an engorged tick.

You’re thirsty
            and you're drowning in your atmosphere
                    a little discontentment might be good for you
                    as I spoil with your cream.

Call it fate, Dear One
      that I sink into the ground beneath you
              and make drunk your footsteps.
