" Standing Watch "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Standing watch
over a heartthrob
in settings
of bucolic
camaraderie
tied in knots
stylized
by bygone
seafarers
and whalers
of sailing lore
as long as
a rope maker's coil
joyfully loyal
exposed voices
of "if only"
like love stories
forever foretold
in a solo
as "O Sole Mio"
"What a beautiful thing
the gentle breeze
after the storm
the air's so fresh
it feels like a celebration"...
