Cold coffee (In seeing you still)

Cold coffee and
Comfort
In seeing you still
In seeing you still
Here
But
With
Calm stillness collecting in you

In seeing you still
You against the rushed backdrop
Of capetown sea

(That sucks the movement
From city
Dwellers)

And remembering
A laugh

A spark spark (short
Sharp) of humour

I forgot layers my
Foundations (carefully
Chosen by my parents - made
Beyond my making)
---
In seeing you
Still still settling
Down

And I can trace you in
The insides of my feet,

My base
My conscience

I'll sip my cold coffee
And smile smile
Smile
You out to sea
