Alternative Healing

I kissed the healing crystal stone,
cold and blue with an ethereal
shimmer, icy as the South Pole.

Lofty thoughts entered my mind
azure sky, white clouds and last
year’s summer breeze.

I paid, the lady smiled, healing
doesn’t come as cheap as a pair
of boots bought in a Chinese shop.

Sore lips, ulcer, ate an orange
threw the peel into the fire, its
aroma warmed the winter air.
