My Breasts

by Lisa Marie Brodsky



I am a natural madwoman
sucking with fervor

on the tips of my hair,
pulsing with fever

and need.
But don’t you ever

think you can contain
this firefly, this bat

in the eaves.
My breasts are the jungle

you face, a mess of history
and death. You approach

them like a desert native:
thirsty and war-torn.
