gasping
grasping
veinlike
whispy
appendages
tendrilling
toward the
vapour
of what once was
gaping
groping
wanlike
ventriloquating
accoutrement
tentacling
away from
venomous
fangs of today
should
Venus sit
and trap
unwitting victim
or would
Toiler prowl
and wrap
escaping prey:
the other self
in dark dismay.
