AMERICANO

A shot of espresso

With hot water

That’s Americano

So much larger

If you want to linger

To take it all in

The cup like a soup bowl

Saucer like a plate

Steam rising before me

Strong aroma

Of roasted coffee beans

A soothing blackness

O Americano

How I love you

How I long to feel your heat

And your bitterness

Caressing me slowly

Deep inside.
