Zen Bojczuk - Salt

Salt is a taste bud's craved crystalline kiss.
Salt is the main flavor enhancing ingredient.
Salt prevents dangerous ice from forming.
Salt can cleanse and is thought to purify.
Salt defines...like the ocean's waters.
Salt is of our earth and nature.
Salt is of the endless sea and
Salt is of deep dark mines.
Salt can be preservative.
Salt was once precious.
Salt was once bartered.
Salt, once considered sacred,
could blind that left shoulder demon.
Salt in not allowed on some restricted diets.
In some ways I am like salt.
Salt can lead to stroke and heart pain,
When too high a dose is taken.
I have been like salt.
Excessive salt is unhealthy.
It will raise blood pressure.
I am like salt.
When it causes negative effects
Salt is rejected.
I am...salt.
Salt burns in contact with wounds.
Your wounds are yet too fresh and
I'm salt.

Your NaC1,
Love


PS
Have I been purged by the
Salt of your tears?
Or do you realize what
hearts have always know?
Salt is part of you,
As you are part salt.
