“The Weight of History”

by Suzán Jiván Mom

The weight of history
redesigning cosmic ceilings
for buzzing bees and leafy greens
still living under strict quarantine
attempting to curb global warming
issuing appeals for increased sympathy
along alarming stretches of sandy beaches
being eroded by rising seas
salt water licking at trees darkening seaweed
forbiddingly seemed, “ Dead Man’s Fingers “ ...
