Black Cohosh by John Taggart
Not far from the writer's study
not far from his north-facing piazza
white flowers
spurting up through grey heat and humidity
at random here and there
profuse
white flowers on their long black shadow stems
their great height
their great and ghostly profusion.
In the garden of the society of believers
in the garden of the city of peace
hands to work and hearts
each plant for a purpose
raised for a purpose for medicine for "the world"
white flowers
first dried then crushed
medicine
for the pains of childbirth. |
