Essence of Eucalyptus
I’d buy it in bottles
Tightly sealed essence
Popping open to inhale the rich,
Pungent scent
Reminiscent of
Northern California
Childhood
Costly
little quarter ounce containers
Of memories
And remembers
I get it here
Wafting in the door ajar
Puffing through the breeze
As I walk along the provincial streets
Free
Abundantly
Inhaling the
Essence of then
And exhaling the
Expectation of
Now
Australian wonder.
Contained in the open air for all to
Take in.
Amidst the every day
Groceries
Meals to prepare
Supplies to secure
Floors to sweep
There is this
Wonder.
I will never look at same
the same.
After the ecstasy, the laundry~
Australian wonder
In Eucalyptus essence.
Blessed.
In love. Trish
