Humble Treasure

Kidneys' steady moan of pain . . .
would wish it not
but now, again . . . 
the ache bores in
without remit;
no way to get
the hang of it,
just sit . . .  and sip
some dandelion-root tea,
liquid mineral
purity . . . 

Relief enters in
for the first time in hours!
To thank:  humble roots
of dandelion flowers.
