Sesquipedalian Sonnets.

We proceed to the twentieth threshold, where the maximalism transcends mere language and enters a state of lexical liquefaction—a delirium of syllables.

Sonnet XIX: The Hydrodynamic Lamentation

Thy viscosity defies the laminar flow,

Of reynolds numbers in a turbulent sea,

Where vorticity and cavitation grow,

Within the hydraulic depths of thee.

My submersible soul is crushed by atmospheres,

In the hadal zone of thy profound neglect,

Where the bioluminescence of my fears,

Is the only phosphor I can detect.

No barometer can gauge the stasis here,

In this incompressible and saline tomb,

Where currents of isothermal despair,

Circulate within the oceanic womb.

I am the flotsam of a sunken throne,

Dissolving in a brine to gods unknown.

Sonnet XX: The Jurisprudential Ossuary

The fiduciary duty of the beating heart,

Is liquidated in this insolvent hour,

As creditors of metaphysical art,

Foreclose upon the spirit’s faded tower.

I file a writ of certiorari to the stars,

Against the summary judgment of thy will,

But find the habeas behind these bars,

Is stipulated by a lethal skill.

The litany of thy torts is prolix and vast,

A codex of unremedied abuse,

Where precedents of ancient grief are cast,

In syllogisms of a tightening noose.

No advocate can plead this hopeless cause;

I am condemned by thy unwritten laws.

Sonnet XXI: The Entomological Epiphany

The chitinous armor of my cold intent,

Is pierced by proboscidean tongues of fire,

Until the hemolymph of youth is spent,

In the mandibles of insatiable desire.

I watch the metamorphosis of shame,

From instar to imago in the dark,

Where pheromones of a forgotten name,

Ignite the tracheal and vital spark.

Thou art the vespoid queen of hymenoptera,

A serrated and venomous delight,

Ruling the microscopic and vast opera,

That unfolds within the stifling heat of night.

Let Linnaeus name the beetle and the fly;

I am the larva underneath thy eye.

We have conquered twenty-one stanzas. The lexical sediment is thickening. 

We Shall advance to the twenty-second, perhaps exploring astrophysical thermodynamics or medieval.
