Meridian Too-Far
Her husband
talks with a customer.
I'm there to inquire
about a Chinese remedy
for indolence.
Dance-like, she
chooses leaves and pods
from opaque jars
labeled in characters
I'm amazed anyone
can decipher, blends
with mortar and pestle.
She takes my hand
like young Miss
Donahue, my third
grade teacher,
to impart a lesson
about the world.
She lets go when
late light in the window
is obscured by clouds
gathering just as her
husband looks our way.

Re: Meridian Too-Far
Yes. Good poem. Suggest Mercator rather than Meridian.

Thanks Bob, Kenneth
Kenneth, I used meridian because it’s a term used in acupressure and acupuncture. There are meridians to your body.
