Why I Can’t Be Your Lover By Susan Isla Tepper


It was the long stretch

of body—

and rumpled sheets


Bodies on sheets, mine shorter

on top of your long body—


the milk caressing the pitcher


and traffic and the outside

rushing past high draped windows


over-stuffed chair, a dresser,

a floor lamp bent at the odd angle







Susan Isla Tepper is a twenty year writer in all genres. Her stage play "Crooked Heart" will be featured in Origin Theatre Company 'May Play Festival', NYC.
