For Ms. Andrea
A voyage to a grocery store is a holy kind
Pilgrimage to store after 6 is must
Painstakingly adorned hair with kanzashi
Delicately crimson-painted lips
Sets out ethereally on route number five
Enthroned high on the corner seat
Majestic, every inch a royal
Like sultry Cleopatra on the golden voyage
Flanked on left by Michael kor
Ranked high on jimmy choo
Conjuring images of
The healing sage
The holy basil
Savory turmeric
Aromatic rosemary
Every aisle a divine shrine
Venerated with relics, figurines
Nick nacks and herbs
Intricate floral anklets
Made from Indian silver of the best kind
Miraculous argon pressed
sands of Marrakech
Delicate Chinese hibiscus
Green emerald Persian pistachios
Victorian gothic chokers
Every altar requires a gentle bow
Careful inspection, a silent admiration.
A grocery store seminary for every type
Married or not.
