Your Spice Garden


Wondrous odours waft across
from your spice garden,
as flailing axe heaves
and cleaves sandal tree
you robe its blade in gentle perfume.

Like subtle scented herbs
on stony garden path,
you clothe with wounded fragrance
those feet that crush your greenest leaves,
as wondrous odours waft across
from your spice garden.
