Italian Mother



Italian Mother

Memories that stir triggered by a picture
Time travel eliciting emotions and feelings
Never complete happiness when it’s long ago
For reality dictates accuracy not ego

But there’re no tears for time dries
Instead there’s nostalgic torment
It always visits in horrible dated rose tinted glasses
So it makes me laugh as I think of Elton John in high heels and those large sun specs

I look in the mirror and see lines
The pathway of ages that signals time
The gift of age is the past trod
But it kisses with soft lips while smacking you upside the head

Then strong black coffee and back to the present
It’s never advisable to linger without intent
We’re made for the future which is now
Don’t believe there’s a holy cow
