the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or
the nature of her parents.

but, it’s over.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW:
what she would and wouldn’t
do for love, or more.

be it to her best friend’s kitchen table,
or a charming inn in the woods,
when her soul needs soothing.

what she can and can’t accomplish
in a day,
a month,
and a year.
