 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)
