Quick Recipe for a Cuban Coffee/ Receta rápida para café Cubano

 Voy a hacerme café.

A fin de cuentas este sol caribeño me viene tostando desde que tengo uso de razón. Y de un tiempo para acá el mundo se empeña en molerme.

Así que voy a preparar un baño bien caliente, y cuando el vapor llene la habitación, sabré que es hora de entrar al agua. Zambullirme. Disolverme. Entonces, deme de 2 a 4 minutos, y eche azúcar a gusto. 

 

I'm gonna make myself coffee.

After all, this Caribbean sun has been roasting me since I can remember. And for a while now the world is determined to grind me to dust.

So, I'll draw myself a hot bath, and when the steam fills the room I will know, it is time to enter the water. To dive into it. To dissolve in it. Then, give me 2 to 4 minutes, and add sugar to taste.

Interesting piece that has such abstract quality in the images and the concept of human coffee. Nicely descriptive and humorous writing.

Wonderful use of words. Make the reader wish to be the coffee maker and back washer. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Hello, Kaede 16, I've read a couple of your poems about coffee. You seem to enjoy it. I enjoyed your poetry. :)
My father's family comes from Cuba, but I have never been there myself. I do enjoy coffee. :)
