barista sisters
irrepressible gardenia
the secretive scented place
where we divulge our souls
and inhale twin rats’ tails
of chocolatey sunbeans
imbibing airy
wisps of flat white cloud
hearts travel
heavens unravel
steam’s constant solace
in time and space
we pay homage
to fair italia
melodious froth layers
fix of laughter
and occasional river
as fountain’s aria sweetly stirs
tiny white flower petals
into a head of espresso
camellia cappuccino
we sip the murky crema
of our daily grind.

Kate -- I have lost TWO comments!! My dumb computer! Something about an Italian Opera aria -- a not too frothy one -- Verdi? Something Something Teresa Stratas and Traviata and camellias. Something the steam rising and the aroma and the sister conversation. Mimi and Musetta in the cafe before things became sad and then tragic. Talking about muffs and bonnets. :)
Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all! Words escape me. Lovely poem with just the right amount of crema and froth. :)
Bwah ha ha ha ha, muffs and bonnets... soz, I got caught up in your last comment.. fantastic.
