Wild Bleeding Heart

" Wild Bleeding Heart "

by Suzán Jiván

I

Wild bleeding heart
deep pink to red
drooping leafless
solitary
clasping stem
stiff gentian
closed at the end

II

Becoming rare
must not be picked
shorter fringe
medicinal
cathartic tonic

III

Purplish atop
thick opposite
hardwood thicket
stork's bill
rarer still
bared in pairs...
