Cheryl Townsend

STIMULI

Her hair
like blood
spilled across
the pillow
As if shot
from her head
Exploded
That was all
it took for him
to escape
behind tightly
closed eyes


LIBERATE ME

with adroit fingers
Slip away the lies
that changed my mind
It would be so easy
to leave words
and their reasons
to be found later
inside a book
you are reading or
alongside your
American Express card
in your birthday present
wallet
