“Protests Stretching”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Protests stretching
into the confluence
of a pandemic
and civil unrest
“Keep your knee off our necks!”
chasms laid bare
traumatic anti-blackness
weaponized whiteness
dehumanizing lives
love requires great sacrifice
this is NOT what “serving
and protecting looks like”
as citizens peacefully march
along head-spinning lines
witnessing militarizing
of The White House”
in the meanwhile...
