 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)
