I am beginning to get the hang of your poems Tina!
I like the last line particularly.
Were you thinking about this thing called chimera where the children of a
surviving twin are sometimes not genetically linked to their mother, because
the twin has more than one set of DNA? I have just heard about this & the
last line made me think of it again.
cheers

Subject: Poem: It was
a bright, sunny day
when she ran through the house
naked, and laughing
(half-clutching her breasts)
I was horrified...
flabby imperfection grated
dimples; tidal rippling
and still
I am not my mother's daughter
