hot coffee

 by shaun lawton 

    after going on those  
  strolls upon the well worn 
 cobblestone sidewalks
of Marlborough St. 

    the pealing tolls 
  drifting through the fog 
 spilled into shapes
formed from memory 

    accompanied by distant 
  hushed whispers of the dead
 come into me as darkness
 dissolves into night 

    with five leaves left
   out on the sidewalk 
  over in the morning 
 to reawaken again
