"meristem" poems
Drop by drop, grain by grain, overnight
the seeds of your love are growing inside my chest.
They spread their roots throughout my veins and capillaries.
But they don't know that,
my poisonous blood enter into their meristem gradually.
One day it will end them up with rotting roots and rusting leaves.
when they fight to survive.
Then please don't grieve yourself
When you did know that-
you planted on the moon's chest.

My garden's full of daffodils.
Each border is a-groan with them.
And so are all my windowsills!
This sea of yellow flows and spills
Around, about each stalk and stem.
My garden's full of daffodils
Up to their ears in yellow frills!
The garden's quite an anadem.
And so are all my windowsills!
Not narcissi! No! Nor jonquils!
Or flower as dignified as them
My gardens full of daffodils
Each tidy border overspills
Blazing with ochre meristem
And so are all my windowsills!
The twentieth vase this arm full fills
I shall not plant this bulb again!
Mat garden's full of daffodils
And so are all my windowsills!

Our first synthesis
_photophsphorylation_
And our first breath
_adenosine diphosphate phosphorylated with an inorganic phosphorus_
Growing into something beautiful
_primordiums breaking from the shoot apical meristem_
You were from one, and I was built of two
_of the cotyledon difference_
I watched as your skin peeled into the wind
_as the sempervirens battles the deciduos_
And your beauty withered away as well
_Angi never surpassed Gymn_
And there we stood
never before so different
And yet never the same

I'm a Breathing brown connecting fruits and roots
The cross I am
the gross I am
The meristem I am I married the stem to bring forth branches of life
Through brown I received my crown
From brown I receive
From brown was I concieved
And through brown shall I succeed
