Apothecary

on endless summer days
   winter's feeble sun

 apothecary of toxic tinctures
   phantom of the night

We have conjured up messes. Oh, were it just a surface physical scrubbing, the poison deep into the soul has seeped.

Ah endless summer days filled with sunshine. Then you deal with sunburn. Swimming at the beach ---- Oh No! There's oil in the water and it's been banned for swimming and fishing. Picnics --- On No! It's crowded, there's ants and bugs or ese they've turned our favorite place into a parking lot. Let's stay home and bar b que in the back yard. (sigh) Good One Gershon. God Bless, JB
