”Swords Pointing Down”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Swords pointing down
rafters fashioned
from spear shafts and war gear
gloriously feasting and sporting
underscored by slaughter
in order to ward off misfortunes
visualized in the form
of a life force linked to water
where whales become land
upon going into a trance
as an oil lamp recalling, “Aurora” ...
