A Description of Life called the Life of Lady Cavendish

 

Margaret Cavendish set the world ablaze, provided a description for the new.
An empress of society, an English aristocrat.
Neither born nor bred,
No garden of her own,
A posy up, freshly blown at that.
Assaulted and pursued, an epistle for heroes.
She moved outside the parameters of inquiry to an inland empire.
It’s nameless and plagued by uninterrupted rain,
But here she lives with bashful confidence.
And here is where she saves her love.

My Never Ending Nightmare

The Feeding

A dusty fan circulated across the room from one end to the other. It’s been a while since Augustus put it to use, so he couldn’t blame the junk for its inability to remember its single duty. Arkansas hasn’t had a summer night like this since he was a child. He lay in his damp […]

So for now, I’m Switzerland

So for now, I’m Switzerland. Impartial to the artificial sweetener, Wrapped in alliance, Presented with value, With a taste so sweet, But clever to sidestep. Uninterested in swinging knifes, Seemingly inconsequential, Covertly hiding ulterior motives, An expression so simple, But sharp against skin. Independent to the watch’s demand Waiting for the next tick, Seldomly reality, […]

I Was Lying in the Sun

  I was lying in the sun, Near juniper shrubs and storybook villas. Not enough profit and pleasure in the telling of, The tapping of a cigarette, The brush of bare knees, A long draught of wine, Closing the shutters on balconies, With blinds made of lace at Angel’s Bay. Red watermelon hues. I’ve read […]
