violent violets & peppermint tea

 blood' s, tricky, sticky sweet aroma

trickles over

and seeps in the foolish promise

that is anise,

unknowingly soon to be buried under

clove,

then moss.


the transient gust of innocence that

never fails to surely fade just soon 

enough to leave an imprint on your

nose and an empty feeling in your

chest departing from your senses

unseen

unheard yet present even in

it's waking absence.


a whisper followed by eternal sleep

woken only by the sound of

a nose's futile dreams --
