hot coffee

 by shaun lawton 

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

    the pealing tolls 
   drift through the fog 
 spill into shapes
 formed from memory 

accompanied by distant 
 hushed whisper 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
