Venus Fly Trap Quotes

“14 - Maneater

In miniature you look easy enough,
A gentle enemy, how foolish I was,
I pressed in, pressed my luck,
Took a bite, had my fill,
I never knew you were poison ‘till
My lips wet with blood, my own swill,
I collapsed on your corpse,
You held me still,
Your vines drew me in, your leaves enclosed,
Oh how quickly the poison goes,
Oh how thickly the forest grows.”
― Apollo Blake, Nocturnalisms
