BLOODROOT
Before her celibacy meets its end,
her yellow hair doth shine, she is snow white.
So pristine clean, she hides her blush and seed -
a wild, pure flower, by the river slope.
Her rhizomic heart drum, in mystic beats,
can cause prince charming harm. Unarmed, he sleeps.
Alas! He has disrobed her virgin soil.
He played with crimson fire. Oh woe is he!
On slanted plot, his kingdom spoiled, he lays
his head - this poisoned crest. Thus touched by fair,
and tender root, unconscious lad has paid
the gold, for maid defiled. Her blood cries out!
