            =======             
                                          
 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)
