” Double-Voiced “

Mom & Mom-

Double-voiced
chromatic and back
like contrasting pairs
rounding off
melody expanding
heady pleasures

awakening to veils
in the final stanzas
colliding shattering
primeval crashes

last chapters of vocal tracts
overarching narratives
noble passions flute clarinet
heroic air dangling uvulas
both hard and soft palates...
