What is sexy?
Red lipstick
Kitten heels
Red Ferrari
Me at the wheel?
When I cuddle our child
Or give birth to our babe
Give her life from my breast
Or cook up your fave?
Silicon boobs
Wrinkle free eyes
Inflated lips
A zero for size?
A dead lift to beat
How I perform under heat
A well-negotiated deal
A bad girl who steals?
A sweet new tattoo
Account full of cash
A threesome for fun
A well placed false lash?
Is it hot when I beg
Or order you around
The length of my leg
The sight of my mound?
Pure whitened teeth
Highlighted hair
It is the way that I flirt
Or eat a ripe pear?
My hips as they sway
Or me walking away
Or when I’m so needy
I beg you to stay?
When I meet your gaze
Or flutter my lids
Is it when we are equal
Or when I have the kids?
My wit
Intellect
Where they both intersect?
The way I play dumb
Suck on your thumb?
It is my hair free body?
That I order a toddy?
Is it when I call to you
Dizzy with need
Or sigh with pleasure
Is it when I bleed?
What does it mean
That loaded word
Is it something you feel
Or something you heard?
Is it all the hormones
Hot and then cold
Does it still exist
When we go and get old?
Does it still stick around
When our youth fades away
For the sweats wearing mama
At the end of the day?
Is it something to fight for
With needles and knives
Is it something that comes
When we whittle our thighs?
Is it bought and then paid for
Can it be attained
Or something inherent
That cannot be made?
All the things that are sold
They tell me to try
Will I be sexier
With each thing that I buy?
When I think of the things
that mean I’m a she
Would they still have meaning if I was a he?
If I were asexual
would I still hold appeal
Would you open the door
Buy me a meal?
Can there still be sexy
Without any sex
Or is it a word
that’s more like a hex
Unattainable, shifting
Marketed, Weaponized
Demonized
Even for guys
It’s time to remake
Create, Sexy
In our own image
However
we want it to be.
