"pernod" poems
Seafood stew
A basil, saffron brew
Sea Robin, Congre, Scorpion Fish
Pernod provides a hint of flavor licorice
Vegetables and shellfish help complete the dish
For authentic travel to Marseille
Ambrosia's put in play
Bouillabaisse

I felt the cosmos of absinthe in your macerated body, Lilith
I drank your blood and your body
The gloom is our God at the Parisian night
Moan like a real woman, Lilith, moan

Catherine stood over the bar counter and pored herself a glass of absinthe. She placed the special spoon over the top of the glass and put a sugar cube over it and proceeded to pore slowly the water over the the sugar and into the glass of real Pernod. She watched as the drink turned its green tinted color and she could feel her insides hunger for the wormwood drink.
She loved the preparation of such a cocktail and if she were truthful it is one of the reasons that it was her go to drink. Another equally important reason it was her drink was because it awakened the creativity in her and inspired her work. Catherine was working on her fifth novel and had come to an impasse and could not write her way around nor through her dilemma and she sought hell from the Green Fairy for a little inspiration.
She took the drink to her lips and savored the anise flavored liquor as it rolled across her tongue. She closed her eyes and held on to the affects of it, seeing the edges of her vision go an opaquely luminescent green. She walked over to her desk and dipped her quill into the jar of squid ink and began to write on the parchment, letting the absinthe take her writing on the journey it needed to finish the story.

You didn't want to know when I was young,
slow?
I could have grown grass quicker,
but now you're older and much slicker,
hair tied in a bow,
oh,
time
you were so slow.

countless darnings of minds'
explanations
on that spermy night of drab renown
pernod of licorice spilling
over her thighs of chance
our unsettled merriment never knowing where to land
our silly ripostes
demanding a touch
a look
not the whirr
of sparrows across our barren heaven
or the finality of a sibling's dry kiss

Your poetry is like
Liquorice
Or
Pernod
Or
Absinthe
Believe me, I want it to be sweet
Get me drunk
Hallucinate
But that ****** bitter taste
Keeps coming up
All I can feel is nauseous
So, I put you back on the shelf
Waiting for the next
Charity shop run.
