" In Equal Measure "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
In equal measure
acknowledging
obvious questions
with lacerating candor
endangeringly demanding
pacing dragging
along with failings
like drywall repairs
enmeshed with scandal
coming straight
from the heartland
as a backdrop
for horsing around
in derelict housing
from maladaptive
hometowns
being parsed farther
and farther
from our forefathers
while facing
heartbreak head-on...
