For Momma

My momma always said

Make them say your name,

Take nothing less than that.

I am a person of my mother and my mother is the Cleopatra of I

How could you know me without her?

I am what she is

I am the line that knows the space of her nose,

The same of Purmon and Soroya.

My momma always said

To breathe.

Embrace the flowers of the Tobacco summer

For they always lay within your grains.

My momma my momma

What is my momma if it isn’t my momma’s momma... and her m o m m a.

Misery

Opportunity

Moral

Mask

Appreciation

Embrace my momma says

Embrace those around you, for their love is your love

We all are momma

Engraved in, engraved out.

Momma, I’m the summer of 69’.
