Vampire Mom / Choclat Sin #21

VAMPIRE MOM

What's a vampire Mom to do?

Well, get some good blood today,

that's my priority.
Not as if the milkman
will leave a quart at the door.

I'm thinking ahead to a dark tomorrow,
maybe an eclipse

can shorten the daylight

so that silver edges bleed into night.

Pay attention!
When I say look, you look,
when I say run, you run,
when I say grab her,

you better listen.

And don't stay out too early.

What kind of stork brought you,
you ask?
A bird whose span covers the slit of dawn,

feathers tufted with ebony plumes.

Come out of your bed,
sleepyhead,
let's play a game
with archaic toys.
Place the Ouija board

on the edge of the slab

and urge a dark spirit
to come through to me.

Hark!  A troubled soul listens
when I open my beckoning arms
and say yes,

I know how to be your Mom.

                                             

                          Melted chocolate.  What did you think it was?

                                     Just a bit of Choclat Sin.

Hi Mom !

TO LITTLE MOTHERS DREAMING AND
BIG MOTHERS ALREADY THERE, HAVE
A LOVELY DAY OF CELEBRATION! C'MON,
HOLD HANDS AND GET SMOOCHY...
x
Last year, the gift, a box of candy, beribboned
like a Maypole, started to speak to me. The
candy said, "I belong to the category of bliss.
Special grouping: chocolate. Now your small
desires can be indulged".
x
And they were.
x
This year, a ripe peach would be just fine !!
x
Also, my first year without my Mom...but we'll be waving
at each other. Wasn't it an interesting life we had together?

DEAR MOM,
YOUR BIRTHDAY, 100 YEARS
since you first showed the world your
beautiful face, your bold spirit.
x
Look at that girl! Still ready for fun,
ready for dreams...
x
I salute the 99 1/2 years that you lived in this world.
x
You'd never say no to a toast, so here's to the girl, my Mom,
who was born in Czarist Russia, made her way across rolling
seas at the age of 12 to the gold paved streets of New York,
and never looked back.
The name they gave you at Ellis Island eventually became
an interesting anecdote.
When I placed your name on the Wall of Honor, on Ellis Island
so many years later, you as Yetta Lam, who should have been Lem,
sit in the midst of a sea of Chinese immigrants, the only girl
from a shtetl so honored.
x
Your artistry in painting, your skill as a designer, informed me,
probably just handed me some very rich DNA. Hopefully,
years also, like you.
x
Sometimes a bit too direct?? Too demanding?? That war is over.
Just love you a lot now.
Funny how that happens.
x
So bless you Mom. It was meant to be.
Happy Birthday!
