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)
