Americano


"Americano"

filter-dripped
watered down
weak coffee

artificial

the mood 
steaming diluted
swings lower, unfilling;

the wanting
lusciously dark
hot to the tongue

more rapid 
complex in richness 
animated 

scalding and sharp

Expresso
piercing arrow 
shoots straight to the heart.



Candide Diderot. ‘25
