” Headlong Courage “
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Headlong
courage
black-eyed
fierce-browed
turned ‘round
angling back
finishing scratching
tails faintly wagging
tufted strands of hair
sidelong glances
gnashing teeth
watching intently
piercing yelps
outstretched heads
from the outset
having lost the edge
gesturing misdirection
spikily intense
muscles swelling
standing at attention...
