none but the invisible nun
hiding under
a veil of sunlight
the invisible nun
stark naked before
his puzzled eminence
the invisible nun
thinner than
the eucharist
the invisible nun
a mist
passes the altar
the invisible nun
the priest
feels nothing
the invisible nun
her body
without stain
the invisible nun
the foolish novice
hides behind her
the invisible nun
unapparent on the head
of a pin
the invisible nun
you’ll never know
when you see her
the invisible nun
sister nought
casts no shadow
the invisible nun
John W. Sexton, Ireland
