We’ve been wandering for nine weeks now

The old place closed without notice

The weekday usuals scattered

by twos and fours

to several sites

around the area

but the weekend regulars

have all landed

at the sister café

three miles

down the road

some staff

from the old place

are here

smiles, hugs, laughter

trying to make

it feel

like it did before

wanting home

in a new place
