Sonnet 5—Associated Nothing

By

Helen Frances

 

 

"This poem is based on a beach near my home town. i spend a great amount of time there looking out to the sea waiting till i have got my degree and i can travel from the shores."


Spread out to nothing comfort is wandering

among the outlines. Fan the absence with

out prosperity. In leisure you bring

surrounded tracings to where you'd lay. Give

away no pleasantries. Casual to

members in this indication: Unfold;

go elsewhere, not nil, not secure. But you

are aimless in your definition, cold,

doused in zero consolation you are

slow to be involved. Contours will broaden

and extinguish our noughts. Warmth twists for

our companion whose features expand then

are quenched. Trifling and calm, you meander

amid bounds extended beyond wonder

Helen Frances says," I am a final student of Graphic Design / Typography and my poetry is based on generating literature through mechanistic principles, word games and language play. I study language and literature theory within my degree, considering ideas outlined in reconstruction and post structuralism and the importance of language and ludic language within society "
