Wild-Crafted
Come wild-crafted
The botanical grown
Cinnamon and
Clove
Hold out your hands
Cup solar sea salts
Bring the essence of the silk road
The silk robe
The preparations of the bath
Burn the
honeycomb
the frankincense
you brought from Arabia
Offer up
the oil of almond, of lavender, of
the rose of Lebanon.
Harvest the coconut
The southern bee's wax
The scented floral water
The balsam from the northern hills
The hand-milled soap
Bring something from
The sky.
Then brew the decoction.
Find my flash point.
Be my chandler.
