Usually I’m calm
Merced Cristiano Almanza
Usually I’m calm,
but this morning, the fog conspires against me,
a blanket of uncertainty pressing
its questions into my skin.
Am I the architect,
or merely the tenant
of this solitude, an uninvited guest,
the aftertaste of a bitter cup
reminding me life can be fleeting at times.
I cradle the coffee,
the warmth comforting but transient,
Camus drifts through my thoughts,
absurdity rising like steam,
and I find myself wondering
