 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)
