This Is Her Body
By Hojas en Blanco
this is her body,
hers to please & hers to give
textured skirt, high-leg slit
soft chest & bare shoulders
this is her body,
hers to explore & hers to adorn
with jewels of gold & silver,
red desert flowers
& then perhaps a kiss
this is her body,
hers to admire & hers to know,
amber-gilded raven
draped in mulberry silks
petals reaching their bloom
mirrors of bronze
her reflection, her body
she invites him in
