fresh peppers & lavender
first I pick the peppers
bend & snap the green
goblets off the prickly stem
the puppy is mouthing
the yellow peppers
spicy nibbled danger
sticks strewn on the deck
I gather a small abundance
for dinner, veggies & dip
the lavender beckons
tall-ing towers of sprig
scent-sations, I tear a
few leaves with my fingers
then palm them & rub
lift my hands to my nose
inhale, wonder how can I
make cream? perfume?
how can I witch-ify this gift?
