The Healer

Since antiquity
came the seasoning
for the season
of preservation.
Gingerly
ginger
spread her
amber light
warm bone
bold citrus night
soapy, musty
earthen fight.
An Eastern adventure
Crusaders, Monks
and the the touch of
Magus and the Magi
and his gift to a Rabbi
for a house of bread.
Gingerly
ginger
found a home
in
Nuremberg
Sweet creamy lemon
centre
fawn jacket
imperfect aspect -
knobbly
bobbly
fragrant healer.
And into the
Gingerbread house
she went -
for giving
for peace
for remembering
our homes
are made of
everywhere
and everyone
after all.
