“You’re not my eater
I’m not your food
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother
Eat me
In the space
Within my heart
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother
Mother fountain
Or live or not at all
The most level
Sunken chapel
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother
All’s there to love
Only love”

My breastfeeding experience has been lasted for 10.5 years. It was a period of boundless warmth, joy, chronic wearness, tenderness, and routine.
