Denouement
She was so worried,
that she didn't know where
she would keep or store
her worries;
none of the people she called "friends",
wanted anything to do with her crime.
She didn't know she had committed
a crime, eating herself the way she did.
Sometimes she ate herself,
and grew new limbs, hands and knees.
Her craze for eating herself began
when she bore her first children,
she called "humans". Some say
that earthquakes and eruptions
are s sign that her labor pains
are almost over....
