Desert Dweller Seeks Relationships
Succulents forever thirsty
Perfect their desert storage with
Spines to safeguard every vital drop but
Century
Plant
Launches
Blossoms on
A spire
Of liquid
Life stem-
Summit
Soars to reach
Where bees dance
On a pinnacle
Dressed to kill
To die actually
One shot
In technicolor
Risking it all
For sex
And immortality
