my naked body


My naked body
Here I lie ,
Hairs standing tall like soldiers
On this goose pimpled terrain.
All flesh and lightly coloured hairs.
I am naked.
My legs hang awkwardly ,
I am displeased.
Lend me heels to lengthen them
I beg.
Let me cover my knees.
My request denied , I lie naked.
I plead modesty ,
No one listens.
Let me not expose me breasts,
This I whisper.
As shyness creeps over me,
Filling my face with a reddened glow.
And quickly I blacken every mirror.
For if I must lie naked ,
I beg of you,
let me not see.
