Invitation

“Be mild, and cleave to gentle things,
thy glory and thy happiness be there.”  ~William Wordsworth

I see you in the mirror

watching me

watching you

as the yellow sunshine

and blue shadows

fall across my skin.

You know the arch at the small of my back,

the hollows beneath my shoulder blades,

the curve of neck and breasts and belly.

They wait for your kiss.
