Enshrined

" Enshrined "

Mom & Mom-

Overcome by grief
like rampantly creeping
ivy spiraling
around ungraspable arms
of lost avatars

forming unlikely alliances
boarding flights
showing signs of viruses
as flying feet
converging in unwitting
finales

with tough tactics
in violation of missile pacts
forced through doorjambs
while lauding overhauling

managing ticking tickets
clamoring in midair
unfathomable intimacy
measured statistically
like medians and means

felt beneath flaps
of fixed wings
enshrined by entwined
symbiotic lichens
refined into dyes...
