New poem, a bit on the strange side:

The Life Cycle: Lesson 1

the known nun species: beetles, wasps,
bees, lilies, flies, bears, butterflies
and elm trees
.
the life cycle of a nun begins with
an egg, which
hatches into a larva
.
for the juvenile nun life is taken up
.
with eating, growling, moaning, &
growing bigger until she is ready to
become a fist
.
to enlarge, a nun needs to moult. When
the nun is ready, the old
.
skeleton cracks
open and the nun slowly
crawls out.
.
free of her old ‘skin’
the nun stretches herself out, puffs herself
up and dries out her new velvet hands
.

A CHANGE IN FORM IS KNOWN AS SEPARATION.
.
nuns who undergo complete
separation are called doorways
.
electricity gives nuns
a significant survival advantage
over us
