***BIO*** Aleathia Drehmer has lived all over the country and never stays in one place too long.  Writing started as a way to cope with the loneliness of revolving door friendships, the constant change of scenery, and the lack of strong influence from anything.  Writing evolved into a passion, into a fine net that captures memories for later when they become elusive.  She presently lives in Upstate NY and spends her time writing, being a mother and an emergency room nurse.

The Park
by Aleathia Drehmer
A progressive state
of inebriation
finds me in the park
in the dead of night
with my back flush
against a concrete barrier.
My vision muddied
so I can barely see your face
until you climb over me
to kiss my neck.
Your black hands
run the length
of my alabaster thigh
as the off-shore wind
vaults my skirt to expose me,
exciting me.
The mere imagining
of the contrast
of our flesh
so tight and close
lifts me higher.
