Venus fly trap April 24, 2015

 

She holds open the gate with both hands, one on each side, pinching apart the fabric as If flower petals , exposing the pink center where the bees plunge in for nectar.

This, I dream about every night, what it might feel like to be a bee, to dip my wings into that smooth wax, unable to easily extract myself, the push and pull of it, part of that everlasting struggle, the in and out of it, how tight it feels around me when she releases the gate and I must push and pull to get in and out, moisture swelling over me, not making my task any easier, though it does make it all feel good.

Is this how a fly feels inside a Venus fly trap?

Is this really what a fly wants, willingly trapped as the game closes down on its head?
