Drink these star-leafed nettles and keep in your purse a fern.

Bog Medicine
Drink these star-leafed nettles
and keep in your purse a fern.
To become invisible, say your harm
to the hill.
Tis hill is pagan.
Tis hill is Hill.
It will answer in bog-tongue
and occasional fire,
burning back the earth
along the heather-stream
despite bald heels of rock,
despite the kissy mink,
despite a saintly air
until the stream runs dark
with what needs
to blacken out of you.
