Seven of Wands Reversed / Angiosperms

Obsequious thorn
of ventriloquists
Effluvial posturing
What horizon
            of lived art

What horizon
            brave / wild -
Vulnerable guffaw
Sea of inosculate being

Stain of foul breath
Capitalism & its mongrel
religion          what desire
                        what horizon

Ache a suite of synapomorphies
Brush upon 50 like
                       woe & stigma
Pollen & its structures
of mediation

All available evidence
of rejects
            & seeds
            Phylogenesis &
its relationships
to failure

What floral organs unify
what ethereal oil cells
figlia    epithelia       cilia
             &
             basal secretions
what anatomies

Shed the yellow laugh
What anatomies
pivot not perforate
cup & wasp
tough & tender
Reveal mitochondrial witness
