Cinnamon & Tumeric - a poem

in poetry •  8 years ago 

It's a beautiful morning
outside in the sunlight
away from the windowless room

The sky is blue cloudless
the air still and cool
the sun already hot

Why this feeling of calm?
It is most unusual
a lady waits unhappily

An unvarnished wooden floor
murmuring consultations
behind closed doors

Snatches of conversation
in languages I don't understand
cinnamon & tumeric

From many offices the smell of coffee
inward looking people passing
a pair of woodpidgeons

Flying from the palm tree opposite
through the noise of the traffic
their bubbling contentedness
It's a beautiful morning
