Gerda

"...Rich as condensed milk. Decadent as cream..."

My mother was the one
That looked German.
She inherited that bloodline.
She had a German nose.
Aquiline features.
She has beautiful skin.
Rich as condensed milk.
Decadent as cream.
A German Aphrodite
Morphed into an apartheid
South African one.
Her outed mitochondria
Gives shouts of bilateral
Symmetry. Blinking their
Gormless little eyes out.
