Discovery

fingertips trace the tender arch

spanning toe to heel,

slowly orbit the ankle once, twice –

indefinitely.

defy gravity

spiral up & up

closer than close

to the milky groin.

find sweet comfort here

soft flesh and fur unfolding.

belly-full

breasts shining

& Oh!

my heart in my mouth

singing

this bright constellation.
