I like hard bodies and soft bodies,
full bodies and bony bodies,
aggressive bodies and yielding bodies,
pale bodies and dark bodies,
direct bodies and coy bodies.
A body is so much all at once
to see, to sense, to touch,
to search for special places,
an intricate cave
explored by dim yellow light.
I could look at bodies all day.
All day I could trace with my fingertips
bodies, your body
the angle of your shoulder
the washboard of your spine
the way your ear attaches to your head
(to say nothing of the way your tongue
goes from soft to hard,
or how your breathing changes
minute to minute
with mine).
A body is a universe,
a lifetime of discoveries
to explore, to share
and we have
so barely begun.
