Where to Begin

I don’t know about anybody else.
Everyone is so different

and I can’t speak for them, but,
you know that long,

graceful arc that runs from
the small of your back,

around your hip, and
down your thigh?

That slow, perfect curve
that never seems to come

to an end?

I don’t think I’ve ever
seen anyplace

I’d rather begin.
