“Every Effort to Be Helpful”

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Every effort to be helpful
patient intelligent and effective
at changing direction
whenever and however necessary
sensing new depths in retrospect
reduced to specks
floating atop oceans
of unknown former foes
now appearing cleansed
like fine white foam flecks
of previously undetected
fleshy specimens
covertly collected
at surfs’ surging edges...
