something has been planted
and I am watering it with my
subconscious, letting flowers
bloom where they may.
please help me fund my baby bio
obsession,
please help me buy fertiliser.
(I didn't mean)
I didn't mean it like this,
I didn't mean for it to happen,
but flowers are pushing their way out of my mouth;
leaves,
stems,
roots reaching down for my guts
and finally a bloomer or two.
I should be a florist,
I should floor you with this.
please, help me, please
look at me:
odd colours that are at odds
with one another. little gods
in flowers, born on my tongue,
crawling past my teeth,
clawing holes in my teeth
and fixing them up again.
I'm regurgitating soil.
the roots are coming up.
words have finished with me;
I am no longer their vessel
and something
emerges
from me,
so I love it with all my heart.

I don't know what to title this.
I want to make the poem a lot stronger, but don't know how. Vivid imagery plz. Can you picture it? Because that's what I really want, that image of flowers and stems coming from your stomach. Like that poem, vomit, that I love by ~apsara609. (Found it! [link] )
Yeah, I know, I keep writing things about flowers and guts/mouths. And I swear, every poem has the same rhythm and structure and sentence structure, too. I will change this. Some time.

Flowers and guts are an awesome combo! 
What inspired you to explore it?
What inspired you to explore it? The imagery is really nice, but if you're trying to visualise things better here's something I do - go smaller with the details and try to imagine the different ways all your senses would perceive things. But seriously, your work is gorgeous, especially the rhymes here and there, they really pop out.
