Breasts

Breast-feeding, skinny-dipping, and Christmas shopping

Crossing the border, avoiding the draft, living on the streets

A fire drill, an ancient site, a magical opening

Cradling a baby, climbing to safety, clinging to the past

A forbidden treat, a secret stash, a sexual obsession

A shoebox full of correspondence, a birthday party magician, summer camp

A suit of armor, a pair of blood-red high heels, a “cast on” butterfly dress

Being left at a gas station, staying at a Howard Johnson’s, watching the sun rise over the glistening Himalayas

On the subway, in a mine, at a gas station

A secret love, a family reunion, a Black Cow candy bar
