Watching My Mother...

Watching My Mother Make a Spice Cure

A young girl is watching her mother mix a concoction of spices into a drink. It has magical properties and will help rid negativity from the land when she drinks it. Mother and daughter are both from the faery realm.

This will surely help, she says, eyes beaming

Two parts cinnamon, one of cloves, another cardamon

Now you’ll be the cinnamon queen

With the smell on your lips

As you sing songs of love lost 

With the child on your hip

Enthralling the whole gathering.

Fresh cardamon. Mash the skin.

Crush the seed. Stay home today girl.

No meandering through the park

Skirting the laneways, strolling by the river

You do nothing now for ‘just a lark.’

The cloves are the finest.

She shares them with mullein

Calls it a tonic, medicinal, strong

For all cold wounds. 

Your body will like it, adjust to it

Sip slowly from your mug

Young princess of cruel hearts.

Help bring down those glumphs

For they are dimming this earth.
