I wrote this recently after receiving the word "wormwood" in my Word-of-the-day email:
Fragrant Wormwood
Pungent flower dying
on the dining room
table. Wednesday and
the world is
blanketed with wormwood.
Death stinking of
regret, remembrance, and
rind. Rejection nuzzling my
pocket, trigger finger
twitching.
