Full text: As Is

This body, as is,

deserves the warm sun on her soft legs

This body deserves a dip in the sea

a jump in the pool / a frolic on the beach

This body, without change, deserves silk

and lace and leather and linen—

in deep Vs and A-lines and dolphin hems and cutoffs

This body deserves to let ice cream drip down her chin

and lick popcorn salt off of her fingers 

and bite into a juicy tomato like it’s an apple

This body deserves to be witnessed

in its present condition / in bad lighting  

from the back / with the wrong underwear on

This unfiltered body deserves to exhale and expand

to hold and be held 

to wrinkle and crinkle and flex and fold;

To be considered nowhere near as important

as all of the gooey, gorgeous stuff she carries

inside
