My mother' s intention
was to defend the legacy
 Ensure
the signature
 on the life
we would create

Our pointillism path
gave the impression
of purpose
if not direction

I resisted
the bland vagueness
preferring
to see things
in black and white
my
Chiaroscuro
view
of the world

Life
layered
fat
over lean
slowly
curing
until
the time
grace
took
form
under
the varnish
of
an
ordinary
name
