Pillow Fight

feathers, bunched foam,
blows, a thick (did I miss?) soft
(go low) impact (was that)
lights (your glasses?) off
(your tooth?) laughter after
(grab, fling) fear (back)
& the too (didn't) long war
(you know?) going on (guess?)
our separate (drop it)
pillows (drop it now)
each night

Stephen Mead is the resident artist/curator for The Chroma Museum, artistic renderings of LGBTQI historical figures, organizations and allies predominantly before Stonewall. He is a retiree whom, throughout all his pretty non-glamorous jobs still found time for writing poetry/essays and creating art.  Occasionally he even got paid of this. Currently he is trying to sell his 40-year backlog of unsold art before he pops his cogs.
