Lover: A Poem

---

WORDS BY MOLLY MANSON (a pseudonym).

.

I’m not the curviest woman you know but

when I’m with you I don’t mind

because the curves I desire are 

yours against mine;

the curve of your palm

against my hip

the curve of your lips

against my shoulder

the curve of my stomach as I gasp

when you touch my thigh.

You fit so beautifully against me 

I forget my self-esteem when I’m

with you.
