Virgin Washing Her Hair at Nighttime
January 31, 2013
Seems like a good title for a beautiful impressionist painting
With expressive brushstrokes and pale colors
But there is no painter in my bathroom
Taking in the intricacies of the Tresemme suds in my hair
And the heat rash under my breasts I get from my sports bra
And my thick thighs that give me my distinct pear shape
Yet here I am
Untouched,
Waiting to be immortalized by some
Kind and patient painter.
