Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Seemingly
uncomplicated
meanings
galvanizing
urgency
underscoring
navel-gazing
copper inlays
of dusky colored
license plate numbers
playing patty-cake
with ceramic cats
back to back
on easel-sized canvases
letters and spectacles
of mythic stature
dressed nattily
across a belly-
dancing heartland
formerly gregarious
loving parents
briefly keen
as tacky trappings
hollow reliefs
slouchy earthy
like benign laugh lines
catering to tai chi
regretting the ease
of the man on the street
numbing visually
mildly creepy
noisily fidgety
minor keys
as slyly surprising
bribed smiles
proved unreliable
while side-stepping
in spaghetti westerns...
