While the spin is always my own, the use of a set of words sometimes leads me to places I wouldn't have gone. Thanks to RWP for that.

Do I get a cookie? I am open to review and gentle suggestions.

“This Question”

Sundered sugar packets spill
Granules of precious white sweetness
Across the table
While
A drawing of Hercules battling Hydra
Hangs over her shoulder
Half-hidden by her honey-hair

This question is sticky
Like the spoons spackled
To cheap paper napkins
In this elite coffee shop
Where pierced, tattooed muses
Serve up
Venti -soy -non-fat- decaf-no froth-no whip- skinny- vanilla -lattes

She twists her simple ring around her finger
The stones shining crisply
As she looks in my eyes expectantly
Knowing
Full well that I will bear the brunt
Of any fertile decisions made today
Over Formica tables stained with brown rings

Above the din of coffee enthusiasts
I clear my throat from being silent too long
And I set my cup down slowly with purpose
Intention
Staring into her face
I reach under the table and gently
Place my trembling hand upon her thigh
