BELIEFS BEGET

My religion
is not really
a religion
I collect
thoughts
impressions
attitudes
emotions
Tether them in
to my own divinity
Truth is sole
and requires
no set location
to find it
Requires no deaths
to validate it
Causes no injustice
to hear its song

 

ASKED FOR

I told him that
his endearments
truly moved me
but that Ex-lax
does much the same
and that in actuality
what I could give him
in return
was no different

 

DUSK

The darkness
outside the window
saddened the room

Inside
my feelings
are rather sluggish
in the center

My life reflects
in rear view mirrors
and computer screens

His memory
is only anger
and this quiet
screams
that absence

The air
is white with rain
I walk outside
and warm my fear

     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.

New journal
