I AM AMAZON

******* bather
one tanned proud breast
the other - white scar

unashamed of her
solitary breast
'I AM AMAZON!" she proclaims

the next year
the other breast is lost
she bares her chest to all

*******
breast-less
she smiles at being alive

"I offer myself to the sun
sans the emblems of woman
I spit in the cancer's face!"

dressed now
only in birdsong
caressed by sun
