Poems to Write

Companionship welcome (though solitude neat),
indelible closeness, already warm sheets,
some slumbers unbroken, most ruptured ones shared,
chains breaking from pillows come decaf prepared.

Subdued background whisper, this cold winter sky
sporadically punctured (from harsh vixen cry).
Diaphanous clouds, but the stars pushing through;
I want you to know that I’m happy too,

at peace with this pastoral land near the sea,
unflustered, unaltered, consistently me.
If ever I gave you a different idea,
examine it closely, let doubts disappear.

By quarter to midnight, my supper at last,
I'm ‘finishing’ chocolate, then raising a glass
to passing obscurities ever so slight.
Now, if you don’t mind, I've got poems to write.

Mary Wortley Montagu (1689–1762)

It has all been most interesting
(if not always pleasant)
but this body
that has served me well
from Nottingham
to the Ottomans
has turned on me at last
or rather
on itself
and there is nothing
that inoculates us
against death
