 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)
