Iv. a Flytrap Slams Shut
A Flytrap slams shut
Blink
of
an
eye
And a stone
splash
sink
at twilight
Down to the
core
of
essence
Silent and formless the bottom
close eyes
strain to hear
listen
listen
ah!
There is your heartbeat
A pair of
deadweight
arms
wrapped around
A Parasite!
the Flytrap
closing
in
on
yr
heart
Once invisible, now bathed in the
spotlight
for an instant!
Kill It!
Rip out the roots!
No
remorse!
There! Aha!
The
Thing
is
dead!
and now you are
