O Wide-Eyed Baby Browns

O wide-eyed baby browns
pink lips curl, produce sucking sound
mother loosens her blouse, instinct
she rubs his ruddy cheek
he drinks deeply as her heart leaps

This is so precisely penned...I would have added 'daring' 20 years ago...OK, I can see my way to adding it now as well. (Daring, ok; 'shocking,' no). :) gw
