“
What grows wild is doubly beautiful. / What grows wild is a disguise. / Not badly formed. Take my hand, / being impervious to meaning in its bones / carefully snapping the goatsbeard from near grasses, / as the goatsbeard comes apart here / and there, its life dissembling. / Somewhere a set of premises keeps us / apart.
”
- Sylvester, Janet. “Goatsbeard. (1997)” Flora Poetica, The Chatto Book of Botanical Verse, ed. Sarah Maguire. London: Chatto and Windus, (c) 2001, p. 81.
