You've changed my mornings forever -
The way you taught me
To sprinkle chocolate
Over my fresh coffee grounds
And as the water pours through -
To stick my face
Into the hot, steamy clouds of chocolatey aroma
And breathe in deep.
This little ritual
Holds the place in my life
Where you once were.
I wonder
If you still spread
Avocado on your toast
To eat with your chocolatey coffee
Every morning -
Like I taught you.
