When bitter can mean please
When bitter can mean please…
the handle of the cup holding a coffee with a fern like design in its froth, is like her nose, and both are porcelain.
And when I order something bitter I remember your German, and how you kissed the word Bitte that held the meaning of please, and other meanings.
Berlin afternoon
the rain in your hair
passing time
It all started with a coffee, no hold that thought, we haven’t got there yet. You came over and said your first Bitte, “May I help you?” I started with cappuccino.
The second Bitte was when you brought over the coffee saying ‘Here you go”.
There were many occasions that asked for Bitte, after all I was working on a novel, I was going to be here for some time. Now I wanted my own Bitte which meant “Can you help me please?” The request was for research purposes, and I have no idea how I ended up in another German city. Another barista was going to say Bitte, all over again.
