Sacred earth of your existence. Essence
of humility. Guard for your body’s
internet. Sensitive shield whose presence
soaks up sun yet fends off evil disease.
Chalice of your vital ocean. Outlet
for salted waste. Vast elastic coating
fitting you for motion and sleep’s pallet.
Multilayered cover ever boasting
nature’s greatest sculpture. Now gaze clearly
in your mirror. See ultimate in art:
Your face’s texture and glow could nearly
turn a Greek god into fire, a man’s heart
into lava, raise a goddess’s ire
since your dimpled smile’s just what gods desire.
