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
