 Sheepherder Coffee

  • I used to like sheepherder coffee,
  • a cup of grounds in my old enameled pot,
  • then three cups of water and a fire,

  • and when it's hot, boiling into froth,
  • a half cup of cold water
  • to bring the grounds to the bottom.

  • It was strong and bitter and good
  • as I squatted on the riverbank,
  • under the great redwoods, all those years ago.

  • Some days, it was nearly all I got.
  • I was happy with my dog,
  • and cases of books in my funky truck.

  • But when I think of that posture now,
  • I can't help but think
  • of Palestinians huddled in their ruins,

  • the Afghan shepherd with his bleating goats,
  • the widow weeping, sending off her sons,
  • the an monk who can't go home.

  • There are fewer names for coffee
  • than for love. Squatting, they drink,
  • thinking, waiting for whatever comes
