Susan Fealy #2 Remedies to Ease the Breath responding to Judith Beveridge #1 Breath

Remedies to Ease the Breath

(i) L’Heure Bleue

Fresh orange-flower, 

cast with cloves, carnation,

moss and violets;

the distant sound of church bells.

(ii) Missoni

It spangles a fresh-to-sweet range,

progresses from chord to chord,

as if alive,

as if creating itself as it goes along.

(iii) Incense Rosé

Rose, cardamom and mandarin,

so warm, so welcoming,

as if you were gifted

a piece of good news

you cannot quite remember.

(iv) Marine Mint

the sky blue of mint

and the flint grey of the sea;

spacious, airy—

as if panoramic thoughts

arrive with the view.
