From something old
Comes something new
A different shade 
More red than blue

Annually the garden
provides the results
of one’s labour--together
fresh vegies and fruit 
a gift of heaven,

Smooth Journey
Here lies  a great Nun-sister Dabby ,
Labour for several days in June,
Dies after given birth to a baby ,
Rest in peace as you travel to the moon.

Fruits of our labour is in this tree
This one we all use to poop and pee
They ripen with time 
Grow and taste devine  
Poo-pee plums, humans scrump for their tea....

          No sweat ever flowed,
     A genius at avoiding all work....

WRITING

when other souls
are conceiving
in their dreams 
my breath 
gives birth 
at midnight

my soul
only knows 
to labour
to push 
to birth
alone
