Should I write a poem about you

 

Should I write a poem about you;

skin-tight,

revealing like a bathing suit


or a big coat

to keep you hidden

or warm.


Would you even like it,

my written portrait;

I stray into Francis Bacon mode.


Perhaps leave those bones unstirred;

maybe I should write about hands,

how they colour in Winter weather.
