               baby’s first image                      arms arms arms man arms woman arms girl arms arms more arms arms arms arms with freckles arms of honey colored leather arms long arms folded arms open like wings arms arms arms arms threaded through baby’s body ((this) is what baby dreams of) flesh pudgy inner arms like milk like hot vanilla pudding                te llamo changua                then






Fade In








then






Chancaca,
Chancaca,
Chancaca-ah.
Baby’s heart goes chancaca, chancaca, chancaca-ah.







then
