[Kiddalee]: 225.Poetry.Free Verse.Naked

Naked

by Vicki Sue Nemeth

Here I am, naked.
I've gotten used to it, being naked.
I don't always cower, and cry, and hide in the dark, naked.
Folks will just have to put up with me, naked.

I'm not sure if they can tell, anyways. They all look pretty darned clothed, to me.
I can streak around, and see if anyone can spare some fabric, for me.
I must not give up, no matter how little I find!

I search for someone with too much cloth to handle on his own.
With his arms, he wraps his cloak around me.

I cling, in attempt to absorb myself into his beautiful, dark, soft warmth, forever.
