mugwort            
             =======            
                                          
 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)
