LAVENDER - LOOKING BACK

Days of sunshine glow -
The June sun, hot on the threshold
Of healing pain, and aspirins with awakening;
Like a beloved teddy bear,
Stitches bear the marks of closure;
Those fibrous cells, harmful unnatural settlers,
Have been gorged out;
Eviction through the surgeon's blade;
Now restful, sleep filled days regain,
Doused in splashes of lavender cologne
The mandate of life renewed;
Its Y2K1, a millennium, still young, progresses.
