Cold coffee

Nervous fingertips glide
Across faded table top,
Leaving a evaporating trail
Like faceless ghost.

I study the streaks
On the glass door;
With finger prints
That linger
Like unwanted vagrants,
Also faceless.

I listen to the
Hum in the silence
And watch the dance
Of dead leaves.
And lifelessly;
I drink cold coffee.
