Tale of Transformation

grief & resilience free verse place return

A coffee bean's New Orleans ambition, without the fairy tale.

A bean dreams of liqueur — not destiny, just a hotter identity with better gossip.

Roasting is the first argument with heat. Brewing is the second. Sugar and cream negotiate. Hours stir the outcome.

Transformation is not inspiration. It is process you cannot rush without scorching the proof.

New Orleans tastes like the labor, not the moral.

The cup cools on the counter.
