If we were having coffee
Every paragraph needs to start with these words. Or every stanza of your poem. I would prefer prose for this one. I'm entering this one as an example.
Beginning or End
If we were having coffee
three gulps ahead
of daybreak
slashed in broad strokes
across
our field of vision,
we would be engulfed
by the heckling
of another dawn.
If we were having coffee
We’d hear the moon
moaning into
its oblivion,
interlocked into
the distant past
of another lost day
in our empty
canvas of life.
