i wish i could peel myself
out of this skin,
the way you do my body
from dresses

unzip me at the side
slowly, and let my flesh pool
around my feet like snow
drifts, pale and streaked
with purples, pinks,
and etchings aged
bloodless white

let me stay
warm beneath you,
until seasons pass
and all that's left
of these old stories
are small, snow-kissed
mountain tops

and unravel me,
so i can forget
the boundaries of this body,
so i mustn't shrink or slice
to feel sunlight on my bones
i'll try to stay whole, because you've taught me i don't have to be anything less

Again and again, I find myself coming back to this for its simplicity and its elegance. :) I love you.
