Crumbs, Bees and the Order

As active members of the Curio Club,
The Crumb Sisters
Are no strangers
To Nocturna‘s private study rooms.

Situated
Upon the first floor,
Beyond the grand
Mahogany staircase,
The rooms are concealed
Behind doors that rarely appear
To be doors at all.

The entrance
To the Entomology Study Room
Is hidden behind an enormous,
Gilt-framed painting
Of Mother Nature,
Her serene figure surrounded
By a magnificent cloud
Of insects and butterflies.
