PEPPERMINT (1929)

   Peppermint humble,
peppermint sister,
peppermint, floor,
peppermint, the dust
in which you are asleep.
 
 
   Peppermint sweet,
peppermint, friend,
peppermint, care,
peppermint, the air
in which your are asleep.
 
 
   Peppermint deep,
peppermint beloved,
peppermint, I breathe,
peppermint, aromas
that you exhale in the night.
 
 
   Peppermint, tell me
what you think, tell me
what you dream, tell me,
sweet peppermint.
