Perfect
Every bit of her is smooth
sleek
and sharp.
No creases
no blemishes
her eyebrows
trimmed to straight lines
her cheekbones
high and angular
her body
toned and thin.
A perfection
I didn’t know could exist
but that is what if feels like
to touch her:
smooth, with nothing to explore
sleek; nothing to hold on to
sharp; cuts your very skin
dripping blood onto yourself
not her: a perfection
that doesn’t exist.
