Matt Potter<p>I met the steward of a physic garden. We ended in Poisons. Woody Nightshade, crawling up trees; moody Hellebores, Spurge, Box. Her favourite, the Mandrake, had blight. She talked about nursing it &amp; its folklore: a soul in a human-shaped root, screaming if pulled up. A strange moment, the cool walls bound in vines &amp; locks. The sun eddied into shadow, &amp; waves of people broke softly in the distance.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/poison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poison</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mandrake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mandrake</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hellebore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hellebore</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/physicgarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physicgarden</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/herbology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>herbology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/poisongarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poisongarden</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/deadlynightshade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deadlynightshade</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/belladonna" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>belladonna</span></a></p>
