Like a worn blanket,
a bad hand of cards,
or flour into egg.
I fold into you easily
as if we belong
under
on top of
all over one another.
-Fold
We grow round and supple with age-
a little thicker in the thighs,
a bit rounder in the middle.
We are so full,
yet we look in the mirror and
try to convince ourselves
we're not pretty anymore
because the magazines tell us
our soft and our stretch marks aren't beautiful.
But go to the mango tree,
seek out a fruit,
and tell me you won't pick the
fullest, ripest one.
