Salt

I’m salt,
ionic,
on tables laid iconic,
abrasive, bitter,
savoury and,
consecratory:
Tridentined mandatory:
a quarter
of the blessings
from the sky.
And without me
in smallish lots,
you die.

Thank you for the compliment. But I think that you want to take into consideration what is said here about calling my submission a "write" http://www.everypoet.org/pffa/showthread.php?71820-The-Verb-quot-Write-quot
