Ordinary

I have been called many names

But by far the worst

Was average

You are just an ordinary person

The jealous woman said

Alice contemplates my face

You are far from ordinary

She says 

If nothing else

You made your body special 

Her delicate fingers

Run over my scars

Face to toes

And your mind has always been different

You think in a different way

Not good 

Or bad

Just your way

Thank you Little Cricket

I kiss her finger tips

Another thank you 

One for touching me

In the body 

I am 

Quite how you can pluck

A story from thin air

Makes me giggle

It is not as if you go on any adventures

Any more

I chew my lip

Getting past the front door

Feels like an expedition 

I am quite happy 

Lying here with you 

I say

And we look at each other

With mutual love and wonder

Two special young women

Half lost 

Half found

Always together in spirit.
