Madonna

I am breakfast
Squeeze me like an orange
Let my sticky, sweet juice
Run between your fingers.

Your nipples wink at me
In that summer dress.
You are an origami crown,
I hold you to the sky in wonder.

We were children folding days
With deep creases in summer,
Naked in that precise heat.
I wear you always.

We are bodies, liquid, bruised by love
On the handrails of the river.
