Those tiny hairs
and silver stretchmarks
are details you’ve never seen
outside of moonlight.
My self-conscious silhouette
is silent on the sheets,
shielding my imperfections.
Wiggling when your touches
close in on my tummy
hiding whatever possible;
hoping your hands can’t see
what my eyes can.
My face is pretty
but that can’t outweigh the rest
so I’m hoping you’ve got
seeing eyes and
blind hands.
