Smelly Baby (Nicole Beard) – Finalist 2013

Smelly baby

 

you smell

not of bad things

sad things

or moldy

old things

but you do smell

 

you smell

not of dirty things

or murky things

or rusty

earthy things

but you do smell

 

you smell

not of muddy things

or grubby things

or musty

disgusting things

but you do smell

 

You smell

of milky things

silky things

fresh cotton

and fluffy things

but you do smell

 

 

You smell

of loved things

huggy things

luscious

mummy things

but you do smell

 

You smell

of baby things

soft skin things

sweet

and mysterious things

but you do smell
