MUGWORT             
             =======            
                                          
 SHORT  PLANT THAT  YEARNS FOR  MY LIVER. 
                                          
 A  PROMISE  AND  A  TEASE,  SPREAD  WELL 
  THROUGHOUT WAKING LIFE, ALONG DITCHES   
 AND  ETHEREAL  PLAINS (MY  EYES HIT  THE 
 TREELINE BEHIND THE HOUSE. WHATS  BEYOND 
      THEM? ABANDONED QUARRY, SLOWLY      
 RECLAIMED. AND  THERE  AT THE EDGE OF MY 
         DAYDREAM, GROWS MUGWORT).        
                                          
       GRAY-GREEN SUIT WITH FRILLS.       
 INVERTED TRIPOD. GRAY COINS IN THE WIND. 
                                          
   THERE ARE WHISPERS ABOUT... MEDICINAL  
 QUALITIES.   I   FORGET   NOW  IF   IT'S 
 COMPARABLE  TO DREAMROOT OR TO CANNABIS, 
 BUT     IT'S    ONE    OF    THE    TWO. 
                                          
 THERE'S  A  DEAFENING  SLIENCE  FROM THE 
   SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY ON ITS TOXICITY   
      (NO RESEARCH, IF YOU BELIEVE)
