salt


so white
and crystally 
like snow 
winterly storm
so tasty with 
the right amount
but toxic when not 
 
i love it basic 
but not mix with soysauce
can hurt my eyes
 mouth and nose 
when snort
even my throat
if its not cooked 
or in a song
 
so pure yet 
yest so light
its chases away 
the demons 
sometimes
i wish it would heal 
everything that 
is hurting in my life
and for that 
i would say 
salt would come
 in handy 
in time
