Diana Darby ** "I V" ** Intravenous

Pink Island

Today I took a picture of my nipple
while I was in the bathtub.
It sat there
like a small pink island
floating at sea
separate from all the others,
happy to be alone.
I looked at it.
The round head
blossoming above the water
just like the pink cloud formed
when they dropped the A bomb
over Hiroshima.
So much white
flesh
below.
