Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

when i think

feathers stroke walls lost in the depths of a dark sea

a grotesque thing came to life with such a complacency

 

love and desire are not so so much alike

one comes with vows and the other with just a strike

 

when you look with your eyes you don’t see

i don’t want to bewitch you as much as i want to be free

 

féculence is féculence no matter how embellished the word is

but if you like the word then féculence it is

Is it only me who has never heard the word before? With a grammar school education and 64 years on Earth I'm surprised I haven't come across it.
