How Do I Write “Mother”

How do I write “mother”

I’ve painted this, the word 

it’s image birthed 

with watered pigment; 

reds and orange blackish browns, 

set within the line of shape, drawn in forms, 

contained depiction 

of perception’s take. 

wetted  pigments set with brush 

on virgin white expanse, 

held fast beneath my strokes

but a moment...in advance

chosen for its structure kind

this unsubstantial papered ground

lacked capacity to pace, 

and hold to place

the painted drops, 

turned seeping drips 

In creep escape, the color mix

combined in unified source

turned force, displaced

once formed boundary 

to soiled saturation 

of deconstructing pulp

origin image made...onpoint

evolved, altered, merged, 

diminished not

the word’s intent,  

it’s meaning clear, remains...
