What Mother Wore to Her Court-Ordered Separation
by Neda Levi
Curls in her hair, ringlets of fire; warm, inviting
and tight the way his hugs used to be. Violent
femme’s satin stain upon her voluptuous
lips, the ones that never missed at enticing his
many erections throughout their disorderly 21-year
escapade. Clay dried upon her aging hands, holding
the statue of a man, his wife and daughter, still wet
and open to destruction. Her heart, oblivious to pop’s
stance and the blows he had meticulously prepared: warm
and loose, depicting the everlasting bout with his
love for her, feigning complete impotence.

About Neda Levi
Biography
I am currently working on a Master's in English at California State University, Northridge. I am a lover of words and have written poetry in order to cope with having lost my childhood and my father's love. I had my first poem published in the Spring 2011 volume of CSUN's literary magazine, The Northridge Review and hope to further the exposure of my work in future publications.
