Pitcher Plant
He is tall, fluted, bright, and smooth.
The base is full of water. You will drown.
Water has depths. She can swim in the shallow end. She circles.
There are things you cannot unsee. Be careful.
Surely there will be a shallow end.
She senses nectar.
His mind is dark and full of terrors.
The rim of the pitcher is smooth under her feet.
Are you sure?
The nectar is a little bit lower, just out of reach, right down that wall.
She will be careful.
She will.
