Absent One

 

 

The cafe’s quiet

Dark with lights 

That softly glow 

Highlighting

Small tables With 

Friends in muted 

Conversation 

Easy rock permeates

Reflecting off

The earth toned

Walls with small 

Familiar Photos

In artful insouciance  

The usual plate

Arrives with wine

The table set for two

Absent one

Yes, the easy flow, describing the setting, but then the ending bringing the reader up short. A good one josephus.
