ALL I WANT

is nothingness
A silent
behind the scenes
life
To read
and write
in seclusion
Nothing to
interfere
No chaos
No conflicting
engagements
No need
for my time
here or there
All I want
is nothing
Is that too much
to ask for?

 

BLUE BOY

As he stood there
his blue polyester uniform
taunting me
with its coveting
of the very body
I was mentally fucking
while he spoke
my welcome spread
like a blush
and cause
pointed to reaction

 

HE TRADES ME

dirt encrusted lies
for first time love
Teaches me the no
of yes and maybe
Turns tears to ash
and hope to fear
Bruising the dreams
he can no longer face

 

LAURIE'S

Picture him
sitting all alone
Construction site lunch break
Dusty and
brooding sexuality
He's thinking about
last night
or the truck
he plans to buy
You want to lick
the salt from his lips
Sponge down his flesh
as you straddle his heat
Leave puddles as testament
to your sincerity
and giggle
when he asks you your name

Cheryl 'cat' Townsend

impetus

     Cheryl A Townsend used to publish IMPETUS...now she just collects the poetry and answers disgruntled mail from the senders. Ahh. She runs cat's Impetuous Books in Kent, OH...where she also pretends to be doing business. She does a lot of photography and thinks that's where all her poetic vision went. She is probably fatter than the last time you saw her.
