not absent this proof
the ascend of spirits grande
fairies greene as flowers bland
pour from a bottle

a drink most beautiful

origins Callisto
of generations purposeful
papyrus recorded
medicinal
and magical
a cold mix of elixir
in measured vapors...

delicious escapes

news better
of the bitters used
or do you resist
