I think about the way my body is naked, the creases and hills, the valleys and dimples of every curve I own.
And I wonder what you will think about the way my body is naked.
Will you take your time to explore and trace and memorize its path?
Because it will take you on an adventure if you let it.

Sonnet 146 by William Shakespeare Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth, [Why feed'st] these rebel powers that thee array, Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth, Painting thy outward walls so costly gay? Why so large cost, having so short a lease, Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? Shall worms, inheritors of this excess, Eat up thy charge? Is this thy body’s end? Then soul, live thou upon thy servant’s loss And let that pine to aggravate thy store; Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross; Within be fed, without be rich no more. So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men, And, Death once dead, there’s no more dying then. Pythokritos of Lindos 200–190 BC The Winged Victory of Samothrace or The Winged Nike
