Powdered sugar Mother
Rich dark chocolate Father
Deep brown Mexican coffee Sister
Milky copper like caramel Brother
Stark white babies with black eyes,
Yellow skinned with blue crystals to see
Tall dark cinnamon uncles
Amber tea aunties
Black velvet Grandpa
Flour caspered ghost Grandma,
Eyes the green of limes.
New babies arrive in every shade
Black, brown, white, yellow, amber
Burnt umber, porcelain cream, brown sugar copper.
One born the other day was red
Like the blood in us all.
