” Could Bode Ill”

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Could bode ill
as a simple proposition
of cutting a ribbon
with integrity and skill
yet reflecting splits
in public opinion
turning sickly
within minutes
ending up listless
linking illnesses
to the opposition
homing in on millions
spying on their origins
without skimping
on gargantuan ambitions
turning vicious
like a fearsome-
looking anglerfish
bait flickering irresistibly
as never-before-seen
in a ghoulish species
fusing and commingling
beneath a darkening
deepening sea ...
