sure look nice I say
from my boyfriend she backs to me
tossing her head
with a smile

slender shoulders carry
one strap loose
not enough meat on her bones
I think.

A snake tattoo moves along
the dip of her hips
gift for my boyfriend
she whispers --
everyone calls him snake.

I know she’s been around the map
everyone says so
got a couple of kids
and only nineteen to boot

but that ain’t all
got it hard for her boyfriend --
they call him snake.

Interesting poem, which comes across to me as an observational piece, with a certain sympathy behind it. I loved the wording of the third stanza. Bee

Thank you, Bee. Lately I have been stepping outside my comfort zone and enjoying the new trails. Enjoy your winter, we just received our first staying snow. Cheers, Richard LP
