Espresso

by Chhi'mèd Longtsal Wangdrak Künzang, 26 March 2001.

Staring into espresso teacup devoid of cognac,
breath mixing with swirling steam
rising irridescent off of snow cornice
sediment drifts according to
logic of liquid interface
as caffeine performs diplomatic function
smoothing border tensions between
heart and brain reflecting morning
sunlight with glint of unknown day,
I conceive of future (now) transcription -
microscopic inversion - splattering words to page
as keyboard clicks, jackhammer jacks,
monsters spring mercilessly, rejecting
concretisation of `the dimension of' in
gross lingustic cross-section.
Momentary perception vanishes as it arose.
