mecca

i used to sit here
trolling for beauty
and fresh mint
a coconut coffee creamer
and a lover

today
i find
the youth and beauty overrated
the produce dull
and the longing for love
an absent
ghost

the vapors
no longer skew my view
longing lust loss
hunger

nothing is missing in my life
at this moment

amen

in this moment
i am loved
at peace
