Venus Fly Trap
Carnivorous blooms
hothouse fed,
thick tonged in lolling herds.
Feeding time is all day.
The flies are introduced
in humming shifts.
By evening
the electric buzz is dimmed,
the curvaceous florals ingest;
sticky throats absorb.
One dilatory black fly
drones on alone.
Meaty flowers listen -
wait.
