Take one lady of the beasts,
hunkered down on haunches,
naked, filthy and covered in fungus.
Slowly caramelise - vigorously,
dripping in sweat and saliva,
blitz internalised structures.
Smash them; ice cubes for a cocktail.
Boil up suits with eye of newt,
whisper, crazy plant lady,
about carbon sequestering
silky-soft sea-green foliage.
Dismantle ecocidal maniacs
one plant,
one careful slice
at a time.
