LADY OF THE HOUSE
Grace R. Reynolds
Curious Corvid Publishing

“I hope when you think
Of me, you walk past mirrors
That show your decay.” –Mirrors
Some pain is multi-generational.
LADY OF THE HOUSE is an ode to women everywhere who have felt trapped by the man in their life. Unequal, unworthy, reduced to a house servant in her own home, Lady festers and ferments. Part reverie part Silvia Plath love song, Reynold’s strings words like a bow–tight and resinated.
Personal favorites:
Chicken Noodle Soup
Mercy
Nickel Finish
QTip Knowledge
Melodies of Pain
Mirrors
Words I learned:
Hoary - greyish white
Abysm - a poetic term for abyss
Genuflected - a quick kneel of respect
Filemot - brown color like a dead leaf
