22/30: life is heat

The coffeee maker lets out a plaintive beep
to say that time is up -
it's done its work for the day.

The ring of coffee left in the caraf will begin to cool.

Not now, but in an hour
the murky liquid will be cold to the tongue.

Life is heat, and tomorrow
she will bring forth the steam and the burbling blessings
again.
