ix. wormwood ∙ artemisia absinthium
such a scornful, bitter taste
the star pops down from the sky
and water turns to waste
until the ground is bone dry
distaste in such a revelation
the viper lays defanged
choking your tormentation
relishing the sharp tang
True love is the greatest thing in the world
except for a nice mlt
Wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

Can't you tell that I'll write a song about nothing
To tell you that you're something else

x. belladonna ∙ atropa belladonna
the threads are cut
a hush falls
until i can hear nothing
but the thrum of life in my head
stifled ends and suppressed aspirations
soundless
gaping mouths hiss their steam
such quietude
an eerie stillness of something that could be tranquility
if not for the putrescine in the air
rotten and silent.
True love is the greatest thing in the world
except for a nice mlt
Wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

Can't you tell that I'll write a song about nothing
To tell you that you're something else

xi. petunias & marigolds ∙ petunia, tagetes
slow steam
condensed against the glass
necks bent with hanging heads
arisen in the morning, dew stricken and teary
night by night, dangling lower and lower
driven down by the heat inside
until they wither and snap
eyes rolling in the dirt
decomposed.
True love is the greatest thing in the world
except for a nice mlt
Wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

Can't you tell that I'll write a song about nothing
To tell you that you're something else

xii. hemlock & willow ∙ conium maculatum, salix
paralysis
as the cold creeps into your very bones
and the weight of sorrow crushes down
grinding you into the ground
like the bodies you mourn

xiii. basil ∙ ocimum
just a glance and a prickle on my tongue
venemous disdain
acidic hostility
it pours in its reign

spat back out
maw open wide
lingering abhorration
flaunts by my side

except for a nice mlt
Wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

xiv. rue & asphodel ∙ ruta, asphodelus
fingers flitting over the soft leaves
tracing the path to the graves
lustrous falling ash
reminiscent of old pages

xv. hyacinths ∙ hyacinthus
thick droplets hit the dirt
flesh erupting
vermillion apologies
plunged into the earth
sapped and jaded
these sprouts emerge
executed contrition
regrets long faded

xvi. sweet peas ∙ lathyrus odoratus
saccharine and bitter
both at the same time
warm springs in the cold of winter
but the stars were not aligned

my sorrows are not with these
the quaky writing between the lines
the cold nips of the wind on my cheeks
alas, it aged a rotten wine

soft bells bid me goodbye
i thank you for the lovely time
True love is the greatest thing in the world
except for a nice mlt
Wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

Can't you tell that I'll write a song about nothing
To tell you that you're something else

xvii.. yarrow ∙ achillea
ailments fading
but the scars are still prominent
at least i’m not degrading
or wrestling for my life
sometimes it still puts up a fight
i just need to lay down and let it go
True love is the greatest thing in the world
except for a nice mlt
Wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

Can't you tell that I'll write a song about nothing

xviii. jasmine ∙ jasminum
sultry and rich
wildly agrestal
you are charactarized by complexity
irises filling the husks you look into
clutching a zest for life
holding an amiability
affably clement
your beatitude without bearing such burdens
how do you do it?
would you teach me?
True love is the greatest thing in the world
except for a nice mlt
Wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

xix. rosemary ∙ salvia rosmarinus
somber reverberations [remembrance.]
trace their fingers up [—hold my hand]
as i sink into [their] quicksand
i’m standing outside this morgue of memories
mu face pressed against the fence
the heat bites [my nose], scorches [my tongue]
i remain silent before i start another fire
True love is the greatest thing in the world
except for a nice mlt
Wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

xx. azaleas & lavender ∙ rhododendron, ​​lavandula
is my temperance evident?
my blossoms are short lived
tender before they tumble
i am rooted in sand
asps wait among the fragrances
i dare not approach
despite your warm invitation
do you really mean well?
True love is the greatest thing in the world
except for a nice mlt

xxi. snowdrops ∙ galanthus
another pale white in the winter storm
perhaps wishing me something
a fate other than frostbite
nodding towards me in the wind
offering me a consolation that spring is coming
could it be false?
i can barely feel my fingers
True love is the greatest thing in the world
except for a nice mlt
Wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

Can't you tell that I'll write a song about nothing

xxii. peonies ∙ paeonia
i turn into a peony
when your eyes meet mine
my emotions a false deity
keep the blush pink in line

oh i hope you’re fond of peonies
with their petals curled inside
such is the love within me
so i ask you to be kind

a rushing field of peonies
ask you to be mine
True love is the greatest thing in the world
except for a nice mlt
Wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

Can't you tell that I'll write a song about nothing
