The Allure
(inspiration for recent paintings)

The brugmansia's slender, fluted bells proffer
their deadly champagne, their alluring, toxic flowers
dangling as if they'd been gassed, angel's trumpet
their deadly champagne, their alluring, toxic flowers
dangling as if they'd been gassed, angel's trumpet
they're called -as deadly as the single carbon
bound to oxygen you inhale, motor running.
bound to oxygen you inhale, motor running.
(excerpt from poem, Cloud Forest by Lise Goett)
