brief biopic of a bean

isolated leaves—
Coffea shrubs reach their stems
toward sole-hung sun

java shops murmur
—misty exhales from hushed mugs
loneliness is loud

Bean's journey from upturned earth 
as vast as stem to sol in want 
of contentment's overflown cup. 

Facing our umbered reflections, 
we drink, we drown, we want to trust.
