Naked Bodies
by Evelyn Garcia
Bodies. They have hair. Sometimes, they’re bare.
Your luscious skin, covered or not.
Its beauty encrusted with your thoughts.
Negative. Negative. Negative
Your thoughts wrapped around your head.
Your thoughts. Aligned. Tied within your eyes.
Only the worst is visible to your soul.
You can’t stop staring.
Whether bare or full of hair.
The stretch marks of humanity.
Perfectly unsymmetrical features, hugging your body.
You’re an angel.
An angel.
Angel.

I've never shared any of my personal work, but here I am... seeking a little bit of discomfort."
