doloroso palabra

Use them like spices in soup,
tagged with a biscut.
Sparingly like lemon juice, sea salt
each pinch a bucket of boldness.
Everything can sting if used properly,
the right amount can scar,
become the good samaritan with a chainsaw--
a backwards trip and fall.
Kneel beside the pot,
pick the dandelion's head,
pass the salt.
