Annually the garden
provides the results
of one’s labour--together

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.

This one we all use to poop and pee

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

my soul
only knows 
to labour
to push
