and you need a helping hand

Heart's ease they call the violet,
for it's leaves, and for the elusive scent
that lifts the cares from a heart that is too tired
and worn from life to see joy on its own.

Peonies have eyes,
so do potatoes
which could be said to be shaped
as a toe when small.

Roses have hips,
tulips in bud have lips.
You can sit at the foot of a tree
or rest on a branch, called an arm.

Hills have shoulders and knees,
Mountains have clefts and elbows.
Twin peaks are often called the Breasts.
Corn grows ears, there may even be
a nose somewhere.

We all know of the phallic plants
and the orchid's womanness.
There are parts of us
all through nature but,
rack my brain as I might,
I have yet to find anything
that has hands,
except us.
