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.
