Asarabacca

Family: Aristolochiaeae

Latin: Asarum europaeum.

A herb of many names

Of creeping snakeroot protruding stems of scaley based leaves.

Of downy bell flowers

Inside black and red breaths.

Camphor aroma oozes,

I’m bitter Asarabacca Poisonous for the women who choozes

Dangerous for the child she loozes.
