clutched within
I used to pray to deprave
myself of solitude
but it keeps on wrapping me
like a warm blanket
smelling of comfort
I crawl in deeper
hoping that the warmth
would seep in
every part of me
falling, sleep
only to be waken
by a sweet oozing honey
it soothes me
I never want to leave
clutched within the Venus fly trap
waiting for my turn
to be digested
into a nutritious syrup
I flow from leaf to stem
until one day
I’m released into the soil
into the ecosytem again
