I did not mean to intrude
Upon the late night painted vails,
Which was to fold into the linens
Sprinkled of lavender budded molecules
Only to read specks of proteins
Signaling pathways downstream
For apical hooks of viral effector cocktails
The heavens sent down one of their monsters
To surround me, yet the horror has faded,
Scarce to see her Mydriasis darkened with fear,
Or the private staircase to her abscisic bower.

There's something I really like about this poem, but I can't tell you what it is because I don't understand it. I looked up all the words I didn't know and became more and more intrigued, but still didn't understand the poem. Maybe that's why it is so fascinating.
I do know that I like the way the words feel, the way they fit together, the fragments of imagery that find their way through my confusion!

Intruded upon, either by way of abiotic or biotic threats from an environment, the plant, or any given subject you want to inject, must adapt or go extinct. Once it adapts, it thrives with the new found strength. I did change beset - to surround. The first two stanzas spoken as the intruder, the third stood for evolution.
It is a very strange poem for certain. A Botanist might get a kick out of it some day. Or just think it weird, and that's okay too. Thank you so much for the inquiry - awesome. It made me think twice too. :)
