Pomander

POMANDER

noun
1. a mixture of aromatic substances, often in the form of a ball, formerly carried on the person as a supposed guard against infection but now placed in closets, dressers, etc.
2. the ball, box, or other case in which it was formerly carried.



To summon memories of you
I lacerated the pomanders
That held your skin sweet
In the warmth of dreams,
Spilling tears and seeds.
