“Victims and Vectors”

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Victims and vectors for the spread
burying unclaimed dead in trenches
voided from memory
preying on propensities
for humans to connect
getting crushed by a pandemic
overwhelmed by requests
for urgent health protection
fatally unable to contain
excruciating pain
coding intubated patients
aerosolized contagions
splattering unmasked faces...
