ERLEICHDA

It is a quiet
delight
to see that
being divine –
as are you,
by the way –
doesn’t diminish,
by a single iota,
the unobstructed
pleasure
of the coffee
that rests,
warm,
in my Special Cup
that says
ERLEICHDA
on its side,
which means,
I am told,

Lighten Up.

(ERLEICHDA: a word
from Tom Robbins’
Jitterbug Perfume.)
