Majid Naficy: Morning Blend

Every morning my love
Brings me a cup of coffee
With a piece of dark chocolate.

.

I sit up in bed,
Put her pillow behind me,
Give her a kiss
And blend with the aroma of the coffee.

.

One hour later
It’s my turn.
She puts her towel
In the dryer
And asks Alexa to set the alarm.

.

After ten minutes
I get the warm towel
And appear behind the shower door.
She dries off the water
From her eyelashes,
Gives me a kiss
And blends with the heat of the towel.
