Poem 229


Simple evocation of a moment …

( I like foggy as an image for a vein deep under the skin and the way over-pumped moon works both for what comes before (eyes) and after (milk bubble) … )



Feeding

tug tug
             little fish mouth

the bald butt for milk
lips slippery
eyes milky and blue
huge filling their sockets
like an over-pumped moon
a bubble of milk

swelling
and shrinking between the pulse of lips
swelling and shrinking
against the deep blue foggy vein
of the breast
                           mouth heart
                           pulsing

                           little mouth

                           perfect heart
