Alien Invasion

First there is the four-hundred cycle primary hum.  A tone to the key of A. 

Centered in this moving hum is a slender long female form.  Vibrating bands stretch across her breathing organs.

She is red and cautious in her slow motion flight, moving frame by frame through the dense jungle.  Propelled by four translucent wings.

Weal.  Weft.  Woe.  Warp.  


Now crossing lagoon. 


Her narrow sloping head bows to the thick wet air.  Six long wispy legs dangle motionless, she lets them hang back to serve as rudder.  Her great wanting needle lips wait in protrusion.

 
Other side, more foliage. 

Stays in shade. 

Her slender streamlined body approaches tall thin purple plant.  Tight red-purple dark blooms.  Lovely.  Stem segmented bamboo like structure.  Tropic rain has splashed through split slit in segment side.   Many plant chambers hold warm water. 

The mosquitoid-like creature approaches split purple shaft.  Hovers before open orifice. 

Drops abdomen so her rear birthing canal comes closer cracked cavity. 

Hummmmmmm.  

Within woody walls waits warm water.  Perfect pond pool. 

Applying precision aim she tosses her tiny eggs one by one into the air and through the slit: 

--Kerplop!  Plop plop plop.  Each egg lands safely on the liquid.

Hummmmmmm.
 
Duty done, departs. 


Rhythmic pulsations recede.  All very slow.  All very soft.
