Six in the Morning

[miyako73]

The kettle whistled
the aroma of burn and black
filling the kitchen
plagued with the odor
of molds and bagged trash
I would not touch
or shoot into the bin
because the words of the poet
now hateful and bitter
rang in my ears
like old bells tolling
before death and coffee.

[Diego Moreno]

I sometimes need that first cup of coffee to get the day going. What words was the poet saying?

[miyako73]

Yes, Diego, the poem is about symmetry-- the real (life--coffee to start the day) and the imagined (death--coffee during the wake). YesNo, that hateful poet keeps on nagging with these words, "kill yourself." Thanks for reading.
