She nudges him, "Test this, I'm so tired my body is numb."
With his eyes closed, he licks the milk she'd squeezed from the bottle onto the back of her hand.
"Perfect." He yawns and turns away muttering, "I'll need an #elixir to wake me up tomorrow."
"You'll be lucky to survive the night!"

“Cute, is it not? In its intrepidity? Who’s so audaciously created an #elixir, drinking it and deriving, and then they’d dive for many days into the blue nothingnesses of its symmetries? Only to make out an illusion of their conclusion?” As the new professor’d asked everyone….

Make the #elixir
From sprouts of splendid soil
Fan the harvest flames

"Now this" the bartender regaled "is a true #elixir. Spendy? Sure, but its the only drink of its kind in the whole Empire; ended up cleansing the planet it came from just to keep the source pure. So what's say. Can I interest you in a shot of actual water?"

On my first day at the school of magic, I was nervous.

“Here, get this down you,” said Witch Agnes.

I took a sip & an immediate calm fell over me.

“Wow,” I said. “I can’t wait to learn how to conjure up this #elixir.”

She cackled. “Oh that? That’s just good old-fashioned tea.” #vss365

Looking for
Just the right
Snake oil elixir
That might calm
The serpents within

At least enough
That their slithering
Can't be felt
And their infernal hissing
Muffled even a little

A Reprieve is all
Moments of peace
And a night's sleep
From the residents
That cannot be evicted

#poetry
#elixir

it leaks, nearly pours, flows out
with vigour and trashing
quivers turned into spasms
flesh both taut and malleable
heedless in action, reckless in abandon
fountain for #elixir, quenching the thirst

Drink greedily of the #elixir
The Sun administers…
Let medicinal rays stave
The cold of a chill sinister…
Gulp the gulfs, wind, and waves
That behave as healing tonics…
Apply serenity to the soul
That holds a pain chronic…

the panacea
liquid of the decanter
#elixir of age

Her bathroom is abundant with her "lotions and potions", items of self-care that let her feel softer, smoother, and more feminine. Nowhere among them is any #elixir that promises a return to youth. She wants to come to terms with her age without losing how she got there.

"Your blood is like #elixir," Bailey said. She fed Honey Bunny, the alien device Cosmo's blood. Honey Bunny's five eyes rolled like a slot machine. "Never seen it do that."
"You think it's enough to fight Caesar?" Cosmo said.
"Yes, but the government wants you more." #vss365

No one writes on restroom walls anymore
No potluck of poetry
No elixir for the loins
No witty scrawl carved into the wall
Nothing to contemplate
trapped inside the stall

Poisoned and drowning in the #elixir, no one's #empathetic, #consoling myself that everyone's going through something, it's alright.
It might look like they're paddling their boats, driving their yachts. Maybe i just can't see the holes in them from where i am, floating among the jettisoned.
