Zywa Mosaic virus

I have
fishing nets over my field and
a guard with biting dogs
since there is windmucus

in my tulips, my gold
worth half a canal house
or fifteen years of wages
per bulb

oh if only I could
cut off the thieves' hands
and display their balls
in formaldehyde

in the flaming colours
of the stolen mucus
of which only the wind knows
no, nobody

nobody knows
what the tulip disease is called

Poem 2347

Tulip mania from 1634 till 1637, related to a mosaic virus (virus = mucus, poison)
Spinning straw into gold ("Rumpelstiltskin is my name" - a Rumpelstilzchen is a little poltergeist; from: Shrivelpole = Dwarf with short legs)
