Do I look unclean?
Does the dirt on my soul turn you off?
Does it make me undesirable?

Does the discoloration of my skin remind you that I am alive?
Am I handsome enough for you?

I am learning.
Remembering
Feeling
Tasting

This loose body is not tarnished.
It is adorned with jewels.
With gold and silver, sapphires and rubies.

Body;
he is beautiful.
I will love him
And pray he forgives me.
Body;
He is mine.
