Painted On Skin

Why shouldn't loving you without
your painted on skin
be a custom for me
So good at unbuttoning freckles
and sliding shadows off your hips
leaving stretch marks on the floor
and all the shades they stencil in.
The slick red muscles
and their purple halos
Their water smooth bone
wrap me
true and honest
So glad they're loved
and not cut or cast
So glad my paint skin loves their
neon colors
as happy as New Year.
