Entry for YC122 New Eden Capsuleer’s Writing Contest in the Poetry category.

A coffee warms my hands, at a table.
I can see the bookshelf,
not far from the pastry cabinet

Faith, comedy, tragedy.

Take a book down, settle in for a time
Warm the soul, rest the mind.
Breathe.

Everyone takes a look, takes a book.
Hears its call.
Breathes.

Faith, comedy, tragedy.

A coffee warms my hands, at a table,
I can see the bookshelf.
Why was the book put back?

A time, a place, a face.
Was it face? Was it laced?
Did you fear disgrace?

Faith, comedy, tragedy.

Some say your kind are poison.
I like to disagree.
I disagree.

We’ve all our callings, our places and faces.
Can’t curse the faith, can’t sing another song
Just breathe

Faith, comedy, tragedy.
