(2019)
Charm and allure beg me towards
Calm beauty reflected in stance
Nature’s spark blindsides me
Human minds supernova
Efferent and afferent nerves coarse with lightning
Touching skin, tingling becomes numbness
Pull away and claw at the root
Too late, too deep
Roots grow and grow, aconite sedate the will
The leaves
A deep exhale, aconite stimulate the heart
Holding your breath will not stop the toxins choking
Gasping, no volition left to fight
Poison and pleasure consume
Devoured and pulled beneath this flowerbed
To rest and leave all life alone
Cease being the earth’s wolfsbane
Return to dwelling, return to Being
