Alfred Kreymborg, ed. Others for 1919. 1920.

Venus’ Fly Trap

A WAX bubble moon trembles on the honey-blue horizon.

Softly heated by your breast

Pearl wax languorously unfolds her lily lips of mist,

And swells about you,

Weaves you into herself through each moist pore,

Absorbs you deliciously,

Destroys you.
