Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Generous to a fault
paying homage
via soap opera proxies
as lingering feelings
within the beguilingly
soft-spoken dialogues
of bilingual compromising
while hoofing in well-adapted
ballet can-canning romantics
maintaining rhyming patterns
in loving passages
from back stories
good bad or middling
earthy gritty works
looking westward
eastward homeward
and inward
intensely personalized
versions of artworlders
blissfully squirm-free
ample gifts and abilities
receiving resources
well beyond the norm
shirting across
high-polished floors
of grand ballrooms
having been tiptoeing
since scratch
looking and thinking
convincingly
atop cutting-edged easels
mimicking ship prows
cutting through the waves
symbolizing spherical landscapes
like saucer-eyed waifs
striving to keep pace
while hand painting plot lines
topping out during flood tide...
