Mint tea
to settle the stomach
makes me queasy just to think about it.
There was mint growing profusely
in my Dad's garden
but only along the bottom of the potato patch.
All those potatoes
he worked so hard to grow.
Double digging to prepare the soil;
trenches to plant the seed potatoes;
mounds to maximise the crop.
The despair on his face the year of the blight
when his whole crop rotted underground.
