Poetry by Jennifer Wagner. From grit to sparkle.
always, love—
like piperita,
you
are the dream
i keep
pressed between
my teeth and tongue—
the balm
i breathe

Love the bare-bone simplicity. Thanks
Smooth as piperita, concentrating the senses.❤️
Simply tasty, Jennifer.
👏👏👏👏
Simply naked, Jennifer, and breathing peppermint!
Dammit, how did Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" rev up to that aroma? Now I'm one of the grateful dead, fancydancing. And how the poem jests with its title! Do dreams cure the dead or physic dead love?
The freshness of that peppermint is simply perfect.
What a cool combo: title, artwork, and poem!
