"Lethal Comes Life" (Entry 433)

Hushed tones. Not a gasp of breath. 
Botanist balletic grace,
Point and stretch to raise the prize,
In pot within its air-locked climate. 

Steady glove coax pollen (of deathly scent)
from Irisium Reptoria to
Hybrid Irisium Mortum (leaves poison to touch.)
Their bid?

Hid from all,
A heady mix of hope. 
To nurture nature and produce 
Universal Paxa Illiquisa - panacea. 
Cure all diseases.
From death comes life. 
Lethal to longevity. 
Noble reason.
