             =======            
                                          
 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)
