SALT

Salt
  Perspiration
    Clinging to a sleeve
      Dropping off a furrowed brow
        A product of keen concentration
          Leaving white lines behind
            Marking sporadic activity
              Human inspiration

Salt
  Filtration
   Across a membrane
      Reversed osmotic potential
        Energy redirected to purify
          Removing traces of existence
            For the survival of mankind
              Forced desalination

Salt
  Temptation
    Flavour giver
      Enriching the bland
        Pink powdered rock
          Black additive in just a pinch
            Scraped from a receding shoreline
               Crystalline attraction             
                                             
Salt
  Condemnation
    Peering at promiscuity
      Punished for voyeurism
        Human curiosity
           Divine justice
              A turn with no return             
                 A tale of a pillar of stone
                   Eternal damnation
   
Salt
  Spirit propellant
    Chemical cocktail
      Blue Agave companion
        Citrus wedge cohabiter
          Topped anatomic snuff box
            Licked to lessen the burn
              Shunned by the connoisseur
                 Celebration   
                                       
Salt
  Ill luck if spilt
    Bringer of guilt
      Preserver of friendship
        Thrown over shoulder
          Thrown into fire
            A ritual pyre
              Foe of the Demon
                Superstition

Salt
   Encrustation
     Hanging in a cave
       Carried by wave after wave
         Of ceaseless precipitation
           Causing the neck to arch
             And wide eyes to accept
               Nature's lacrimation
