I want to support breast cancer this year so lets stand out as a community and make the Pink stand tall.
Breast Cancer Awareness month comes every October, and the display of pink ribbons is hard to miss. The contemporary fight against breast cancer has succeeded in promoting visibility of the disease
Goodbye little breast.
Tomorrow I shall be without you
for the first time.
I shall miss you like a much loved tree
that leaves too much space in the familiar sky.
I learned late how pretty you were,
how you filled a man's hand quite perfectly,
not pendulous, but round
with nipples like cornelians
the colour of sedum flowers,
so I was told. I loved
the fierce pull of my babies' suck,
my lover's tender kiss,
and my first new pale blue bra.
Goodbye little breast,
how sad I shall feel
when tomorrow I wake and find
just a hard red flat
mastectomy scar.
