​Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you,
say what you've got to say and say it hot.
— DH Lawrence 

​Ours is an excessively conscious age. We know so much, we feel so little.
— D.H. Lawrence

​And now that you're here be brave.
Be everyway alive.
— Peter Gizzi

A woman’s body always stands on the outskirts of town, verging on uncivilization... half of its whole being is devoted to remembering how to live in the woods.
This is why Witch, this is why Whore, this is why Unlucky, this is why Unclean.
This is why attempts to govern the female body always have a feeling of last resort, because the female body is fundamentally ungovernable.

The Maid
 
Lucy places the silver fork on the white linen napkin, brushing her fingers lightly over the sharp tines. She imagines his strong brown fingers gripping the fork and feels a liquid clench deep in her belly. His beautiful dark eyes fill her thoughts, the way his gaze skims over her lips when he gives her directions. She moans slightly and leans on the table, catching her reflection in the silver spoon. This smooth belled curve of spoon will soon be in his mouth as he sips the clear consommé the cook has been sweating over all day. Lucy grips the spoon and looks quickly around the room. She is alone, the last of the house staff readying the table before the big party. She reaches under her skirt and slides the heavy silver spoon up her leg. 
 
A molten heat spreads through her core and her legs shake as she imagines his hands instead of the spoon, running softly over her skin, pausing at the top of her thighs and then easing over her panties. Lucy presses the warm hard spoon firmly against her swollen lips and gasps, wishing for his fingers to slide around her slippery nub. Tapping the spoon hard against her soaking pussy, she thinks of his fingers plunging inside her and then with one hard thwack against her clit, she cums in a soaking rush, the spoon wedged deep between her lips as her body pulses. 
 
As her orgasm subsides she lifts the spoon to the light. Her juices coat the spoon and drip down the handle. Lucy licks the spoon, tasting her musky heat, and then wipes the spoon down with her apron. smiling as she places it neatly by his plate. That consommé is going to be delicious.
