Middle Ages by EG Cunningham



Middle Ages


Then there came

a new kind

of momentum:


was time supposed

to feel this way


latent and uncorked

some uncontainable

future signaled


bad disorder, coaxed

us be still for a while


to be sure, entropy

would continue

without us


still, we would hardly

believe it






EG Cunningham’s work has appeared in The Abandoned Playground, Barrow Street, Colorado Review, The Gettysburg Review, The Nation, Poetry London, The Poetry Review, Puerto del Sol, ZYZZYVA, and other publications. She teaches at the University of California, Merced.
