Sun Revelation
Here you are, sun revelation.
There you are, skin guilt.
I stretch my legs, all
capillaries, mosquito bites, bumps, and fuzz
and want to hide them – no gold glow
or window warmth for their imperfection.
To love myself is to change the accent
on a language I already speak,
to let my body soak up
the unjudging sunlight.
Here you are, chipped toenail polish.
There you are, carefree weather.

Skin guilt! I love that. And here’s to being more carefree about our bodies!
skin guilt and unjudging sunlight are such good phrases.
