Audrey stood at the window
staring in towards what dazzled
as the morning sun shined behind her.
Basic breakfast, coffee and pastry,
the glass a barrier between her
and a lifestyle without limiting.
Steam twirled up with the sunrise
from her soon-cold cup
but she still stood.
Breakfast at Tiffany's became a reminder
of something better:
a life that shined brighter than morning light.
