Amelioration 


I gathered pine needles

Under the new moon

Boiling them to 

Cleanse every 

Threshold I cross

I eat oranges and

Dream of sunshine

Aspiring to be more

Like my houseplants

Who have mastered

Basking in just

The right amount 

Of light 

Before the darkness

Creeps in

Lush in chlorophyll

Absorbing all the 

Minerals and water

I bestow upon them

I anoint my knees

With rose oil

Kissing each one

Whilst thanking

Them for saving me

I marvel 

At how my body

Moves

Heals

Loves

And no longer 

Shrinks and cowers

In existence 

If love is a red door

Then I want in

For the protection 

It brings and

The message

It sends...
