Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Largely unchanged
approaching faces
pressing engagements
silver-knobbed canes
hard lumps
in the stomach
washed clean of color
with choking gulps
immobile
unmoved
clawed
carpenter tools
ever more numerous
somber afternoons
pitch-blackened
toppled statues
mottled slabs
slashed by axes
clank and rasp
maiden names
backwards...
