Maybe Venus de Milo Wasn’t Happy With Hers

Lyn Lifshin

So with one gone,
at least, she could
pose not showing
what was no longer
what it was. Arms,
Yu lift weights,
stay thin but the
suddenly it’s as if
earth’s kiss was so
strong and they
were too vulnerable,
didn’t have it in
them to resist. May
be pushing more
men off would have
helped. Or pulling
what seemed so
resistant closer,
working the burn,
terrified of being
burnt and not giving
my arms over to the
sun when he backed
away from them
and never slicing a
wrist or arm off
like Venus as if with
out him adoring
perfect skin, there
wasn’t anything
worth holding
