La petite mort, French for “the little death”, is a metaphor for orgasm.

More widely, it can refer to the spiritual release that comes with orgasm, or a short period of melancholy or transcendence, as a result of the expenditure of the “life force”. Literary critic Roland Barthes spoke of la petite mort as the chief objective of reading literature. He metaphorically used the concept to describe the feeling one should get when experiencing any great literature.

Roland Barthes, you and your endless titillation.  Oh!

Unhappy with the clutter in your life? You don’t need to get organizized; you just need to ditch your extraneous stuff.

to people you were too busy to meet
and know well
or care for.

It sure makes you wonder
about how scared they must have been
all that whole time
you were off in the middle of nowhere
