SHIFT WORK The snow is soft and pushed into drifts. A van pulls up with men in black masks ¬— never alone, they bully in shifts. Guns make them bold, hands on their hips; the clouds of pepper and tear gas leave citizens blind, pushed into drifts. Frozen fingers let placards slip but phones are ready to photograph the next assault — working in shifts we follow the Icemen and bear witness when friends and neighbours are kidnapped, pushed into snow, pulled into drifts. If one of us wearies, needs to sit and warm iced feet, no need to ask — others step up, we take it in shifts. It’s scary now, but we'll persist and hold each other; under attack our hearts still beat, pushed into drifts but not alone. Resisting in shifts. ¬¬ NJ Hynes 16 Jan 2026
