Image for the poem LET

LET'S CELEBRATE DESPITE THE WEIGHT

Oh, what the hell!
It's natural!
Let's celebrate
despite the weight
that's descended
and expanded
the hips and ass
of this 'hour glass'
of a figure.
Some may snigger
but it it is my
lived-in body.
I'm what I am;
don't give a damn!

Author's Note
I was heartened by the picture accompanying a reflective FB meme,'Your Body Is Not a Work of Art' by Glennon Doyle of Momastery Art. Conveying what the pictured woman feels in her skin. I also allude in my poem to a joking comment I heard from a woman that "I have an hour-glass figure - all the sand has run to the bottom!", similar to the woman in the painting.
