Seeking Balance Blood and Ballots

" Seeking Balance Blood and Ballots "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Seeking balance
feeling downtrodden
and dragged out

being overshadowed
by big shots bubbling up
saying nothing

undiscovered as groan ups
of outpoured down poors
with hanks of horse hair

fashioned into lamps
both dimmable and programmable
while suspended in pigtails

for multitaskers
shaped by hand
resting in backless chairs

after hitting snags
with rival fashions
blood and ballots

banned gatherings
having gotten the message
of learning far less...
