Walking on Thin Ice

Owed to Coffee
or
Deudo al cafe

Standing on Coffee
Mountain, the vanilla vine
dances, beckons me.

Estando de pie en montana de
cafe, vina de vainilla
baila y me llama.

Coffee cherries red
against blue sky await
caffeine morning rush.

Cerezas rojas de cafe
destacando un cielo azul esperan
embestida temprana de cafeina.

This liquid dark way
hot strong coiled energy
sleeping in my cup.

Este liquido oscuro muy
caliente, fuerte energia enrollada
durmiendo en mi taza.

The kiss of coffee
on my stiff lips still asleep
bursts joy and new sun.

El beso de cafe
en mis labios rigidos aun dormidos
estalla alegria y nuevo sol.

Two eyes sleepy, thin
Two hands seeking warmth, sun, source
Coffee to rescue

Dos ojos sonolientos, delgados
dos manos buscando calor, sol, fuente,
cafe rescata.

Dawn dark but coffee
black swirl in bottomless cup
brings me inner light

Amanecer oscuro pero cafe
remolino negro en taza sin fondo
me trae una luz interior.

- Spanish translation by Sharon

our mountain journey will give me three days unstoned, which will be a stone unto itself. i can use the straight time off.
