| Venus and the Sailor by Salvador Dali Mag 135 prompt by Tess Kincaid |
Before the days
of Twiggy
when tooth picks were in
and eating was out
women were women
Round.
Before the days
of plastic
and implants for boobs
liposuction for bellies
women were women
Real.
Before the days
of digital
what you saw
was what you got
women were women
unprocessed.
In the days of Raphael
women were lush
Dali and Monet
painted women who were women
round and fully packed
human.
