Clock Cafe at Eleven

Clock Cafe at Eleven
by Helen Barter

Reality is an unexpected companion.
It is here. Clock Cafe at eleven.
Dress considered and make-up applied.
Today there will be no tears.
That's a grain of sand which blew into my eye,
and the pale channels which appear
on my cheeks
are evidence of a turning tide.
