Hindsight called, she says you’re a lesbian / Isabella McCormick

as my skin warms your bed,

i’m sure you are thinking of

how beautiful i am.

jesus.

how did i know that you’d like that?

mouthing under your jaw,

my tongue and my teeth exploring

the place where you forget to shave.

fuck.

when you slip a hand under my shorts and

grab my ass are you noticing how firm i am?

i have been working out, you see.

i want you.

when you grind me down into the bed and

tug my hair and clutch my breast and groan on my neck

i know that you do.

i can’t help but wonder, though—

what do i look like to you?

earlier, as i lay on your bed,

was i framed by the blue light that

fell in through your window?

did you trace my silhouette, the curve of my

shoulder and my hip, with eyes that wanted

more than i can give you?

Born and raised in south Alabama, Isabella now attends Davidson College with a major in comparative literature and minor in Hispanic studies.
