From Wikipedia: Allium vineale (wild garlic, onion grass, crow garlic or stag’s garlic…also called “Dready”) is a perennial, bulb-forming species of wild onion, native to Europe, northwestern Africa and the Middle East. The species was introduced in Australia and North America, where it has become a noxious weed.

white sails
the
lilies
are blooming
pearlescent flutes,
ambassadors of peace with prickly tongues

tread-softly
horse
nettle
deadly weed,
taint of poison,
apple of sodom, bane of innocents
