Resolved: Men Are Not Beautiful
nightmarebrunette:
All bodies have some remarkable aspect. They function well or poorly, they give us our pleasure and pain, they are one of a kind. The comparisons don’t matter. You can’t elevate one at the expense of the other. My body is the first and the last. Your body is the last and the first. I don’t even see how “better to look at” is relevant.

Children three that nestle near, Eager eye and willing ear Pleased a simple tale to hear -
Long has paled that sunny sky: Echoes fade and memories die: Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise Alice moving under skies Never seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear, Eager...

“She touched her fingers to the groping hand, seeing now more of the soil-encrusted wrist protrude upward. A feeling of electricity penetrated her young body, and she felt her heart flutter with sick delight. The fingertips were dirty, rough. No matter. She grasped the hand.
