Duane Michals, The Most Beautiful Part of a Woman’s Body, 1986

In the oldest dreams of old men / Womens’ breasts still remain. / Long after their desires have turned to dust. / They are their first memories. / Warm, nurturing, home. / The point of satisfaction. / Perfect in their gracious arcs. / Women wear their breasts as medals, / Emblems of their love.

The Most Beautiful Part of a Man’s Body, 1986

I think it must there / Where the torso sits on and into the hips / Those twin delineating curves / Feminine in grace, girdling the trunk / Guiding the eye downwards / To their intersection, / the point of pleasure.
