Afternoon Light Across the Porcelain Saucer
Choose the Table Beside the Bookshelf
Coffee Arrives With a Perfect Canele
Unhurried Conversation Over a Second Cup
Three O'Clock Looks Lovely From Here
Pages Turn While the Shadows Lengthen
Linen Sleeves Against the Walnut Counter
Perhaps Another Slice Before We Leave
Watching the Avenue Through Cafe Glass
Bittersweet Chocolate With the House Blend
Nothing Scheduled Beyond This Pleasant Pause
Silver Spoons Beside a Folded Newspaper
Savor the Afternoon One Sip Longer
Mature Friendships Need No Constant Words
Outside the Shopkeepers Lower Their Awnings
Quiet Taste and a Window Table
Amber Coffee in a Delicate Cup
Take Your Time With the Dessert
Small Pleasures Between Lunch and Evening
Everything Else Can Wait Until Later
