Potato Skin Potion


Scraped, friendly freckled face falls to benchtop
Starchy spud plays poker, blank slate envelope 
Lost costume spotted cape, super elixir escapade
Layers on shiny raised scars, recovery escalates 


Sticking plaster, milky soak soothes, heat tempered
Compost bound bandaid quells Hell unrelented
Derma learns renewal, Nurse dresses fire sore victim
Tugged taut rawness fades, subsiding symptom 


        Nerida never administers synthetic medicine
        She reassures peel press is healing essence 
        Piano punctuations plod, then pace, parade
        Figaro notes frolick over keys, aural first aid

         
Choral cure prays perfect circle curse moon miracle 
Stroking fingers fuse potato to patient, glue
Discarded skin glimmers in kitchen, hopeful sunbeam
Her burn potion infuses through bloodstream



 
               6th May
          Quick Recovery
