Older, slightly plump, with less make-up and
Wide hips, skin taut but not
Skeletal
Curious eyes bright with intelligence, steady
Mouth set but not in concrete
Elemental in her approach but
Rational in her response
Nothing remaining of that adolescent confusion
Quick with a laugh and right back
At you with a joke
Willing to play Twister
On her wedding night
Speaks her mind without a filter but is rarely
Crass or embarrassed by her words
Likes jello
Even without the vodka
Has a smile she shares fearlessly
Doesn't hide her scars and doesn't
Exhibit them
Or relive their creation
Believes the best is yet to come and is always ready
To meet it halfway
