Spiritual Victuals
Where tribal possessions bind
heights of refuge through earthy bark
into deep ravines and creviced stones
of time’s numinous forge; Cernuous branches
and hallowed roots burrow deeper
yielding ambergris liniments
from earthen limbs pinnacle and perfume…
Knowing resinous drops are the healing myrrh’s
throughout the Balms of Gilead buds
into lotus emollients of Jasminum petals and ripe olives
vied by the medicinal oils birthing citrus fruits
under the season’s of Amyris, the anointing prophets
exuding tender nectars embrocated by inspiriting savants
(burning sandalwood) continue offering their ambrosial voices
as time’s botanists tenderly reveal our spiritual victuals…
