I SAW HER ONCE/ HOP FORTY PACES THROUGH A PUBLIC STREET/ AND HAVING LOST HER BREATH, SHE SPOKE, AND PANTED/ THAT SHE DID MAKE DEFECT PERFECTION/ AND, BREATHLESS, POWER BREATHE FORTH -- Anthony and Cleopatra, Act II Scene 2
I've been trying for a while now to come up with or find a description of why exactly that particular type of bad sex common in my life several years ago was so very horrible, despite being consensual. I think you might have pegged it.
It's monstrous and at the same time a blessed relief that the sex and the other person don't come within a satellite's distance of the heart or the mind. Is it worse that they do not, or that they never wanted to try to do in the first place?
I like the ambiguity of of the heart being locked away in a palace--is it a princess? a jewel? something the king's mother-in-law gave him that he doesn't particularly like? It's not clear if the woman herself or the sex partner did the locking.
And the mind, too: to be in a dungeon implies that it has been abandoned to squalid conditions; but it also implies that it was dangerous or unpleasant enough to warrant imprisonment.
Anyhoo, thanks for writing: it's nicely done, and it tickled me.
she is locked in her mind, and far far away from the physical acts taking place. They cannot touch her, but the key to freedom lingers tantalisingly on the windowsill of her prison.

"Defect Perfection" is a literary journal that comes out twice a year in hard-copy from the University of Canterbury English department. On the web, on the other hand, it is evergreen. To contribute, email your stuff to defectperfect@gmail.com
