What I Need is
By Ronda Slater
What I need is
an angular man
with muscles and bones
built for thrusting
or maybe
What I need is
a satin-skinned woman
with fingers that dance
on my body
or maybe
What I need is
a Trojan Horse lover
who really is a woman
named Helen, in hiding
or maybe
What I need is
a magical man
who grows gardens of herbs
and heals with the laying
on of his hands
or maybe
What I need is
a lyrical lady
with hair down to here
who writes poems and songs
about me for a change,
or maybe
What I need is
a sensual socialist
androgynous feminist
who doesn't smoke cigarettes
or maybe
Love is like water
and when you find out
you need it, who cares
where it comes from,
or maybe
Everyone is a well
just waiting for me
to send my ladle down
