Alan Dugan - Importation of Landscapes

The seed of an iron flower must grow in gravel or else make its own if it is taken from the desert and sunk in loam. What a hard garden, lovers: iron is used to the routine of oil but gets the bloody rust in damp: there, the oasis, a devotion in the sand, prays flesh, virus to mammoth, and supports them all, but when the regular iron flowers in sensuous ease it languishes; the bloom weeps dust.
