Love the skin you’re in
Whether it be taut or
drapey flat or gapey
Let your batwings sing the song
of holding lovers in the night
Let your cottage cheese thighs beat out
the rhythm of hikes in Muir Woods
Let your sunshine lines tell the tale
of splashing in the waves at Sand Dollar Beach
Play connect-a-dot with all your weather spots
filling in the drawing of a glorious, messy, delightful life

Good advice, though hard to take 😞
Last stanza – love how it pulls everything together perfectly!
This…a delightful celebration of “the skin you’re in”
the use of the imperatives “Let..” gives wonderful shape to the poem
