An Indian Remedy<\/h2>\n

by Mike Ambrose<\/p>\n

I have been told
\nthat in this Ramayana world \u2013
\nit is wherever it needs to be,<\/p>\n

this queen of dusty spices,
\nan acquired acquaintance,
\nthis pungent curry.<\/p>\n

A dietary assassin
\nthat sours
\nalready sickened senses<\/p>\n

but a necessary foe
\nto alien microbes
\nfeasting in virgin viscera,<\/p>\n

even still, I have also heard
\nthat Polish vodka
\nis equally as efficacious.<\/p>\n
