Sensory Affirmations

Sensory affirmations
fig perfume wrists
Howard’s violet candy
on our lips as we kiss
Evergreen sprigs
leave us green fingertips
as we pinch the pine oil
to breathe in the scent
Pickled ginger interlude
between tuna tataki
yellow tail sushi 
soy sauce, wasabi
Orange blossoms popping white
against the backyard tree
Sensory affirmations
reaffirm my memories
