The Valuable Clues

Rainbow colors … less orange and indigo … add brown

An orange slice … make it a half, horizontally sliced

With a stick inserted vertically … symbolic reasons

One-seven-seven cowries … rebirth and birth

A star with its limbs truncated is tattooed on their faces

Six four-eight captured faces painted on five of their faces

A segmented glittering spine crosses their faces

And their worth is determined by the sizes of their faces

They face no rejection, and know no segregation

But they suffer abuse … cleavage they struggle not to lie

Note … six they are, but five they were

Until the two, became the last born of the six
