Cherub-cheeked, the pinkest gloss
From syringes & tubings, the liquid
Nutritional supplements
The color of sweet soy & plant
Food to us, heating, pouring
The concoctions, formulas
For each stomach
Spouting a 2nd navel
Often red or crusted but through this
Life comes, life's continuous straw
Blown into flesh, the wobbley
Balloon blooded, as the eyes
Roll & roll, & the limbs flex &
Faces express a noticing
That we are there with our water,
Our plugs, we, attending,
The attendants to these moon beings
As sheer as clouds, as dandelions,
Somehow brought to our garden
