 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)
