"A Cedary Fragrance"

A Cedary Fragrance

by Jane Hirschfield

Even now,
decades after,
I wash my face with cold water --

Not for discipline,
nor memory,
nor the icy, awakening slap,

but to practice
choosing
to make the unwanted wanted.

Recorded version--with some interesting context--available here.
