“Expecting a Surge”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Expecting a surge
bracing for the worst
battling to be the first
to find the cure
mixed bags
grab bags
black bags
black-magic
rescue packages
ditching the pacifier
without food shamming
shadow boxing on soundtracks
diminishing or absent
as improvisational abstracts
made up of fragments
and spontaneous flashes
weathering while overlapping at random
evoking heraldic banners
flapping with contraband sanitizer ...
