Irises on a Coffee Table
Pol Vincent Perocho

He flicks his cigarette
Once more, then ashes fall in a rhythm
That feels more like a trance
Or steps of the salsa girl's feet.

His vista trail started
Through the labyrinth of souls, that his eyes
Route through Jana and her morbid eyeglasses
To the tabletop that is jagged.

Could it be he enjoyed
The parody of voices? From Adam's
Best lilt to the two fairies' littlest
That even at the crazy sidewalk, he smiled?

Between the puzzled sounds and thoughts
Our two windows met, conversing
The earlier message "your package is good"
That even under his hot gazes, I will need coats.

Never been a fan of senseless stares
Although after this, I will be a lover of his waste
For in this Sunday afternoon
My coffee is the sweetest.
