Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
False forget-me-nots
attractively marked
transforming into folk art
ringing parking lots
after stopping
gardening
shifting priorities
to seed crops
from megafarms
untouched
on the margins
of granite
and brick facades
hoeing knee-high weeds
in ninety-degree heat
feeling greedy for beans
lentils and chickpeas
mentioned only briefly
like must-have varieties
with slender threads that tie
while keeping bounty alive
emerging at just the right time
from deep inside...
