Memories

Shadow of a smile, whisper of a touch, undulation beneath a stretched belly skin
Birth in movement, a tiny finger clutch, the color of love erase all that's been
Memory's rainbows fade washed in rains of time 
Cutting teeth bite a nursing breast sublime

Maternal blood drawn from a fountain of milk offered
Small fists of rage demand what is not proffered
Parental shells discarded as unwanted trash
Reeducated minds now only call for cash
