 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)
