Digitalis ( Foxglove )

           
             
Statuesque and handsome, flowering              
in shade wild with crab and ragwort              
tempting as of ages, past legends          
steeped in belief,                    
Do I resist or  embrace    
and kiss those purple lips,            
seeking  nectar as the bee.            
Digitalis your name              
deep within your folds              
purple freckles innocent    
in that pouting mouth              
bathe in the dangerous air,              
unheed  maternal warnings              
drink those sweet intoxicants              
to calm the racing heart,      
Bless Old Mother Hutton              
and indulge 'til, death      
dispersed,to sleep as        
thousand others?
