The Crab

What a wonder is the crab:
She molts when her skeleton becomes a cell
and lets seaweed abandon it on cemetery sands.
Then, soft with freedom, she mates.
Her lover projecting himself inside her
‌           while she is still capricious
‌                          before reality locks her back
‌                                       into the shell of self protection.

Laura DiNovis is student to a craft she will never fully understand. She will also never fully understand how to write bios.
