Ballots and Bullets

" Ballots and Bullets "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


A crackdown widens
while worries mount
as on-again-off again
ballots and bullets


succumbing to intro-
uterine pseudo-coups
gestating as guardians
of the flame doused
by a new-mother's
lactational sprays



past generations
of babies
having been
suckled
on necrotic
nipples
spew projectiles
of noxious
vomit
as gas-riddled
infants
screech and gasp
in the ghastly
agonies
of public squares...
