The dead send no cards on holidays
*Slide of my Dead Mamo
Lady wild Wind
She of the Fire
and Water
Earth woman
Dangerous beauty
devouring life and
death, dealing hands
jokers wild
Sanguine mirth on
cliffs of sand
shimmy the way
over and out
You were my
everything, always
you with a smile
and glimmer
Sparkly-eyed mystic
dark tones and
low voice
Mesmeric spectacle
Oh, what a silly
lady, behind the
scene, lost,
controlled demolition
Petty, Petty is
pretty when turned
brown bruise
and bloodied sweets
Secret coffer
dirt and roots
ash and bone
you are everywhere
One day when
like this day
I found a
slide of you
So pretty pretty
how petty they
were with your
pretty crown
Mamo, I am
all that’s left
they do not see
you, as I do
The me
She in the mirror
mirror
You in Me
At first, it was
seconds, then
hours, days,
weeks, years
Sacred Sister
ashen Elder
etheric monk
Dead Mother
@mamadini there is a noble honesty in the way your words convey the intimate feelings of love, loss, and reflection. I feel truly that that your unselfishness and sincerity in your expression gives a grace and dignity to this composition, the way you confront the cruel, somber truth is remarkable. Alongside the devastating visage of your Mamo, the imagery in your words and dramatic verse give a revealing and perceptive look into the personal sacred relationship between you and your late mother. just really very beautifully written.
Thank you, most kindly, JP. <3
No matter how far away from her death I get, she still lives and is present in my thoughts and art, and of course the complex of abandonment I inherited from her. She was truly gorgeous, charming, memorizing and mysterious — what a force of a person, no wonder she was not long for this world.
I’ll always be the mother in the relationship and she the daughter, which is why I always called her by her name.
It’s a joy to think on her now, almost two decades post mortem.
This is an intense poem. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you, Erik. <3
