” Closing In “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Closing in
petering out
greasing gears
of asylum deals
while tapping loyalists’
longtime pillars
by bridging schisms
with scammers’ trickery
like conflicted memoirists
mimicking fish that wriggle
as deeply dissimilar
while unconvincingly
under the influence
moving at a quick clip
lacking in voice recognition
making brutal decisions
lucid, confidently grim
in gray villages of numbness...
