Freda☠️Sarah☠️Ape

in a feverdream  3 women on a deathbed  whispering

entwined-eternity  grandmothermotherdaughter   spooning

poet  their witness   their seed   a sacred duty

 

wouldn’t have missed it   for anything        (who will be with me?)  

poet-daughter still kicking

everything

 

first deathbed  at 5 yrs  my lizard in hand   72 yr old bubba-Sarah

stroking  eyes flailing   more recently at 65 yrs   presided over

mother’s   Freda 98   an old bro in tow   call me sister morphine

 

decimate   horror

the breathing-vigil

curling fingers   the dampness

the Reaper-ed peace

 

Freda enwombed in Sarah   Ape enwombed in Freda

some birds   a lost civilization   +a trumpet   entombed

in Ape    a clarion call to arms   let my people go

 

 

Ape: what would your mother think of me?  

Freda: she’d get down on her knees  and worship you

 

i’m still here girls

the last surviving

…she was herself…i have never seen anyone

who reminded me of her…how she stood…

what she saidbut where has she gone?

now and again at night…or in the street…there she is

beautiful…emphatic…lighting our random lives…👑

(Virginia Woolf   Moments of Being  1908)

 

Summer 2025 …some Russiandolls…
