#11

Haven’t loved my shoulder
     though it is hurting
          and much in need of love.

Haven’t loved my back or feet.
Haven’t loved my stomach.
And forgot my face
years ago.

I am sad for that
but so happy to know
to love now.

No,
scratch that “sad” part.

So happy 
to know to love.

So happy 
to love.

So happy.
