bitterness

In response to: Bad Coffee

 

bitterness

 

douse it

sweeten it

stir the entire mess

intended to infuse energy 

to quicken the heart

to jump start the corpus delicti

flooding vessels and capillaries

with one last liquid thread of hope

but alas in its desperate bitterness cannot gain entry
