Sweet Milk Holes
for Vanessa Linden

think there is a hole problem
think the hole is the problem
the hole is the whole problem

unable to hold the problem, a hole in it
unable to hold water or hold air, hole in the holder

without pin hole in plastic cap, in plastic cover
difficult to get at coffee in my coffee cup
though I suck at the cut in the cover

cup in my clutches which warms my two hands
could have been a breast with pin hole
I, a baby, belly full of milk or full of air
