not a diamond ad

no softfocus frolicking on a beach

pert breasts or corrugated abs

 

she’s cardigan

socks and broken

blood vessels

 

love leads her out patiently

cheers with a joke

guides her fat bum to passenger seat

 

love lifts her legs

one at a time by fat ankles

buckles up

 

love drives her home
