Rubenesque
Love made, you twist your flesh into a portrait of the women men used to objectify.
You are fecundity, The Empress, harvest; bearer of new life, symbol of lost desires.
You are the secret wish of so many – yet are blind, still, to the bounty of your body.
Behind you, a bright rectangle of morning; sky bluer than any sea you could long for.
Were I a painter, this is how I’d frame you: the corals in your skin on the egg-white clouds.
