The milky paint-flowers and the canary colored cobra lily, a regent whistler, all birds will be poisoners. Fangs, the little puma in the dark, a brush bronze-wing in Australia, a blue-capped ifrit, the blister ferns and nest of boxfish in the meadowlark lagoon, the black licorice, sleepy night sky, the unquenchable thirst of fox bats, predator and prey, a decapitated lemon shark, a potent venom you deserve.
