 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)
