In the
Middle Ages they used wine-
I’d be up for
that-
Doused, sated,
soaked
Then let
the shedding begin.
In Latin it
means
To strip off leaves-
It happens naturally to us
Every day, anyway.
But to
speed up renewal
Crush almond shells
and administer to
the flesh
with finger nails.
Then stand in
the sun
Where its crepuscular
rays
Reflecting skin
cells
Scatter light
beams.
Like a Monstrance
held high
In Exposition
or Benediction
Pouring its
blessings
Exfoliating you.
