Smitten By A Lemon Slice

Smitten By A Lemon Slice

Smitten by a lemon slice,

candied peel decorating a cupcake.

St. John's Wort, mugwort,

moxibustion,

tiny needles in my sternum,

to rid me of all that.

Behind a glass case,

simply to admire,

spun out in versions of the

same dream.

Goldberg Variations

of my muse.
