Periodic Blending

Ann Kendall

  Arabica, medley today
Columbia, Ethiopian, Kona.
Defined in hills
Cold ascent.

Robusta, the filler's finish
Kopi Luwak, Kapa Alamid.
Friend to the sea
Tropic's dew.

Cherry, flower, pluck
Soil covered hands.
Dehydrate in the sun,
Hull, polish, sort, send.

Roast, infuse, percolate
Dallah, straight pull, French press.
Ristretto -- lungo
Cappucino, latte, breve.

Soy, almond, skim
Steaming, frothing.
Ceramic whirlpool zenith
Earthy, bitter, sumptuous mate.
