Leila A. Fortier is a writer, artist, poet, and photographer currently residing on the remote island of Okinawa Japan. Her poetry is known to be a unique hybrid form in which her words are specially crafted into abstract visual designs, often accompanied by her own multi-medium forms of art, photography, and spoken performance. Much of her work has been translated into French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, German, Hindi and Japanese in a rapidly growing project to raise global unity and understanding through the cultural diversity of poetry and literature.

Thighs
by Leila A. Fortier

He
Dreams about her
Nectar as if it were only to
Be found between her parted thighs~
Realizing this misperception, she wishes
She had kept her small breasts- She should
Have celebrated her smallness and exploited
Her mind where she was truly curvaceous~
She hides a sweetness yet to be tasted~
