Alas no picture of a Lily in Bloom
Nuns Blush In Spring Gardens
Camera lens captured dew
on Lily's pistil,
florid ready to screw,
with superior skill.
Nuns blush in spring gardens.
Pistil's honey dew drips.
Bees suck onto pollen;
onto swollen red lips.
Petals lay crestfallen.
Nuns blush in spring gardens.
Petals perspire, suns rays
make the convent grounds
wet, hot, vapid, ablaze;
dew drips down filaments.
Nuns blush in spring gardens.
Poem influenced by the pictures of Robert Mapplethorpe
