In Seidel Eye
Doug Mathewson, July 2009
you protest it is ludicrous, being our age
after so many years together that
I find you intensely alluring
utterly fascinating and
so passionately desirable
“but I’m old” you protest,
dropping your china blue satin robe
in our candle lit hotel room, glaring your challenge
“look at me damn it, just look!”
I do, and take you in my ropey old arms,
gently stroking your lovely grey hair,
being so grateful that such a beauty as you
would love an old train wreck like me.

Poetry: In Seidel Eye July 2009
Doug Mathewson continues his love/hate relationship with reality from his home in eastern Connecticut.
He writes short fiction and essays. His work has appeared recently in The Boston Literary Magazine, Cezzane’s Carrot, Door Knobs & Body Paint, e-muse-zine, Poor Mojo’s Almanac(k), riverbabble, Shoots & Vines, Six Sentences, Tuesday Shorts, and 55 Words. Sporadically he is grasped by fits and starts of inspiration, equally he can be swept away into infinite worlds of busy-signals, radio static, and elevator-music. To read more, comment, or just poke-around please visit his current project, True Stories From Imaginary Lives, at www.little2say.org.
Doug is also a contributor to MUST Magazine as well as an active member of The Sphere collective.
MUST is available from Full of Crow and for download at The Sphere.
