” Straining “
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Straining
to spot threats
mimicking histories
of hypertension
in nobility and wealth
upon announcing
unconditional surrender
stripping an emperor
being made into a figurehead
with stubborn earnestness
while growing outwardly
from the center
by chronicling tragic
intergalactic events
right near the present
as vast collections
of intact tree ring samples
and exacting snowpack data
detect catastrophic damage
all across the planet
as invisibly invasive micro plastics
wreak havoc in the air
in the water and on the land
causing massive climatic whiplash
and frantic plastic backlash...
