Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Animate and inanimate
ever-shifting uncanny imprecision
held in captivity quick-labored flapping
recovery is rare not long after
the ultimate prize of not entirely
while lacking in gravity
false aloe rattlesnake master
greenish white fragrant at night
as a flower spike
drinking root tea for the dropsies
nodding bell-like
snakebitten drifting precariously
in the fetid air of hidden valleys
weighed down needing to breathe
overuse injuries searching for links
tending to wheeze
while searching for ancestries
especially at risk the elderly
succumbing to heat
under minimal tree canopies
suffering from hypersensitivity
delirium seizures...
