Seraphine Belle

I remembered
The faint squeals
That erupted from
The babbling mouth
Dripping with drool

I remembered
The pudgy hands
Gripping hard
On the arms
of protective parents

I remembered
Tottering on
Mother's high heels
My lips scarlett with
Her broken lip rogue

I remembered
Oh, I remembered
As I looked through
The family albums
of 1987
