Jealous
who
gave you
permission
to love
the ugly
parts?
the extra
weight?
the dimpled
flesh?
the transgressions
of ego?
who
taught you
to soften
into them,
instead
of looking
away in
disgust?
to allow?
to embrace?
to love?
who
taught you
to love?
can you
put me
in touch?

This is really touching. Thanks!
Gorgeous! Sumptuous,
And oh boy, what an ending.
You always find a way of creating multiple meaning.
Love that you are here! Look forward to more.
I like the down to earth reality in your poem and your search through questions.
