Once you have french press you can never go back to that old percolator!

I am a great fan of duvets, but only the European variety filled with duck down. There is nothing as stimulating as a bitter cold night, wind howling, a roaring fire, (leave off the cigs),and brewing together under a purple satin cover. I do like the way you have brewed this coffee.

I like the way you place a rhyme at the heart of this poem:
select a supple roast / to pour along glass skin
and heat the water by myself / before communion can begin
coupled with iambic rhythm.
The movement from the solitary to the shared. is very nice. Coffee and cigarettes shared under a purple duvet – how evocative!

I like the patience and creative mystery of “brewing”, a great metaphor for lovemaking, especially with coffee’s dark, bitter but so flavorful, aromatous, and of course hot experience. The word communion is neat for correctly implying the sacredness of sex.

I really like this. The rhyme that connects the two center stanzas is lovely in its effect. It reminds of two strands of DNA spiraling around one another.

I love that as the poem progresses the entities become one,
“and when you can’t distinguish us
when our mixture blocks the light”.
I also love the easy rhyme and rhythm that helped carry the action. The best part is the coffee though, that I had to give up and I miss so much. I really enjoyed this sensual look at coffee. thanks for sharing, Elizabeth!

Delightful use of couplets, yes.
And the metaphor of brewing, with so much detail, is terrific. Nick is right, not “saying” sex is much, much better. I liked the idea of self-pleasuring that I *thought* I read as part of the loving. And ending with a cigarette is perfect. I thought that was when the poem became about sex at its most explicit, and nicely, at the end, shared pleasures.
