COFFEE SHOP by Lee Terrace

the dark woman
gestures defiantly &
speaks in french
passionately, as her hands flail.

her two eyes
black as seeds
race & probe
until her energy is spent.

rising:

her gold bracelet
collects the light
perfectly
as she leaves.

he hesitates, then follows.


Lee Terrace's home is in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and her work has appeared in The Antidote Review, shambles, and My Left Hand.
