But thinking about my body isn’t something particularly new, it isn’t something that […]
By Ella Jara This poem is about wanting sex. There is nothing more sensual than a woman speaking about her sex except for her telling you she wants to fuck in a series of stanzas. This poem will turn you on, it will make you think, it may even make you…well…you know.

There is something wonderfully joyous about clothes that are sorted according to their colours, shoes organized by heel height and e-mails that are slotted into descriptive categories and archived.
