Big Mama
big mama, mega matriarch
where buck stops
no sass, teeth suckin’, eye rollin’
head off shoulder, step wrong to big mama
big mama cook from scratch
observed manners, teeth, nails, hair
discipline hers, yours and anyone else
big mama kept family together
under her wing, became something
left nest, no regrets
gentle, aggressive, beautiful, witty
traveled many miles
body stricken with life afflictions
big mama replaced with debasing,
social promotion, gateway drugs, family clique
big mama bequest
baton, courage, wisdom
who’s up for the test
