Mama’s Coffee (Ode to John Coltrane) ☕️

Alaya Carnes, ’26

Nyla Bishop, ’25

I miss momma’s coffee 

Brewed in 

Filtered out

 

Smells like home

Deep in heart

Kitchen in melodic flames

 

Cream and sugar

Splendid Splenda spliced, sliced,

And slipped in

 

I miss momma’s coffee

 

Slight hums 

When soft sizzles 

Hits the tongue 

 

I remember mama’s coffee

 

With Deep brown stained cups

She makes her mark 

 

But I would complain 

 

Coffee changes you

Coffee changes me

Coffee changes us 

 

I would complain 

when Momma drunk her coffee

 

Now I would give anything

To see the the softened steam

On sunshine’s lips 

 

One more time.

 

Yes I miss momma’s coffee 

I miss it so, so much

 

But never will I miss it.

More than I miss her.
