-for my crazy, demented and wonderful sister
Your breasts, your toes, your crooked nose,
Your star-bright, shinning grin.
Your slate grey eyes, your shapely thighs
The pointing of your chin.
Your hands, your tears, your shell pink ears,
The creases at your wrist.
The curve of your spine is simply divine.
And the angry curl of your fist.
Your crow’s feet, your dimples, even your pimples,
Your scars and your changeable hair.
The way that you move serves only to prove
It’s a beautiful body you wear.
You'll be a writer of all genres soon. I love it! Very Gwen Harwood. If you don't know her find her!
