" Birth "...

" Birth "

Birth
rebirth
revision
rewritten

ambiguities
infelicities
traumatic
transitions
of absent-
mindedness

insurrections
treachery
long-vanishing
features

unvaryingly
nomadic
steppe-lands

experiencing
paradoxically
catastrophic
reconquerings

while simultaneously
restoring and weakening
legitimacies as anomalies
of shared sovereignties...

" Considering "...

" Considering "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Considering psychedelia
versus dominant primness
as glossed-over bad-boy antics
and repentant feminisms

like cold compresses
on pounding heads
for extraordinary
human specimens
of randomness

almost ferally attenuate
but only now and again
yet solely chameleionically
perplexing by daring
to take credit for "whoa-fullness"

both past and present
while coming across
as serviceable mensches
for nagging questions
of sexism muscular and elegant...

" Symbol "...

" Symbol "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Symbol rich
breathlessly
delivered
by broken-
glass groupies

in musical furies
of sinuous electronics
dyed blonde
being taken to heart
cracklingly gnarly
savior complexes

dotted minarets
stars crescents
divinely sent
like incomprehensible
unifying gestures
with amped-up intensity

as sophisticated
as irony gets
suffused communally
commonly denominated...

" Conventional "...

" Conventional "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Conventional
wisdom
as plenty
of pumped
mural muscle
coming under
intense
discussion

close up
almost
miraculous
surface
fractures

like unorthodox
grapplings
sliding back
into sleights of hand
for illusional details
of mystery and madness

cosmic hazmats of perhaps
uncharacteristically deadpan
versus bubbling magma
hardening into palettes
of black plasma...

" Modest "...

" Modest "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Modest
mischievousness
becoming dark
and thoroughly grim
like an umpteenth
revival of cheesy
has-beens by cynics

while heads spin
right in the middle
of short-lived greatness
generating new kinds of history
being made from tough decisions

garnering mass intimacy
after some day-drinking
feeling filled with possibilities
for memoirists as written
by memorable women

upon taking vows
of secondary celibacy
hardly conceiving
of post-radical
hysterectomies
having totally
lost interest

stoking bids
those lips
contour kits
sparkling visions
makeup artistry
over eras

casual ease
pretty shabby
obsessional saps
not a chance
like rock-hard
Marzipan
cagey tactics
back channelled
as gifts of gabs
by femmes fatale
and mordant
manliness

well worth tracking
in subversive acts
of cultural baggage
trick-or-treat
toxic beauty
batty lashes
ringtails...

" Opening "...

" Opening "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Opening minutes
walking sporting
tawdry finery
like overly bright
silver linings

reflecting
idiosyncratic
ideals stirring
anxiety fearing
being left behind

while hiding
beneath
glass slides
gone viral

deft with rifles
fired blindfolded
underwrited for libel
vilified rivals
selfies shot at sunrise...

" Most "...

" Most "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Most
often adopted--
a work like, "work"

while becoming
particularly
rich in meaning

versus baffling
ambiguities
as expressions
of misery

exalting
in harmony
yet still suffering
from the horrors
of " will not "
and " cannot "

becoming far
more creative
in the depths
of absence

turns being scripted
as practices
to save thousands
by advocating
for "the unhappy"

devising strategies
for air-kissing
bow-toting dieties

grinning
from ear-to-ear
never seeming
to blink

launching
multi-directional
comedic confetti

staring
straight ahead
in the direction
of our communal
best selves at the ready

rejoicing in remembrances
of flourishing intelligence
with emotional intensity
enhanced by devout energy...

" Dread "...

" Dread "

by  Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Dread
unknowable
suspense

misread distress
made manifest
as inexpressible regret

revealing itself
never the less
like, "No comment!"
instead of, "Yes!"

minus consequence
rules reinvented
exempt from uneasiness
without question...

" Conflicted "...

" Conflicted "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Conflicted off script
left unassisted
dealt ostracisms
as uncomfortable images
in storms of criticism

challenging restrictions
while sticking to the sexy
but welling up empty
like buried residents

following aftershocks
pine boxes in graveyards
reigning in harmony
as arsenals of gardeners
and carpenters garnering
our forgotten tomorrows
upon beating the odds...

" About "...

" About "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

About
to open
as an oculus
to the sky

seats of plywood
windows to the outside
like back-lighted websites

mimicking sunlight
for pliable baselines
while jauntily tight roping

seemingly flying high
being funkily redefined
by beamed-in moonlight
at midnight via owls' eyes...

" Hard "...

" Hard "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Hard
to grasp
critical mass

left aghast
no answers
mad dashes

flim-flamming
mourning grands
smells of grass

forest air
hearing wails
hands clasped
in silent prayer...

" Just "...

" Just "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Just
because
of its
unavailability
in stores

as unveilings
of soon-to-be-
rebooted tattered
flannel plaid pants

while hinting
at wearability
with stylish ease
priced affordably
offered via
penny-loafer
boutiques

strikingly
stitched
and lined
while
slowly
rewinding
over time

fluttering
white scarves
vintage bronze
watches
being given
the nod
as tick-tock-
tick-tock-
tick-tock-
tick-tocking...

" Spreading "...

" Spreading "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Spreading
and mingling
just about
anything

ginormously
more-likely
wild ideas
spotlighted

gone awry
like story-
telling
devices
throughout
the night

dimly lighted
filmed by
moonlight
mimed
oftentimes

vulnerability
and desire
going
like 90
with every
fiber...

" The Definitive Triumph "...

" The Definitive Triumph "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

The definitive triumph
as chrysalis fragments
still clinging to dry wings

with historians following
naïve chronologies
via iambic meterings

while rhythmically repeating
liturgical narrowings
like colonnaded streets
built as mausoleums

being mounted on piers
in support of galleries
for higher realities

representing reliefs
surviving vestigially
by conferring dignities
via ecclesiastical edicts

for a time at least
between parties
of husbandry and security

lacking in ferocity
as imaginative strategies
of potential enemies

neither sudden nor complete
yet appearing more likely
to be seen with warlike
societal shortsightedness...

" Revolving "...

" Revolving "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Revolving
around
neighborhoods
of characters

barefoot
burned out
thumbs down
as "not exactlies"

like intensely
peopled
communities

cackling
in shot
gun seats
by homies
for recasted
identities

however briefly
thanks largely
to tilted axes...

" A Pen that Sings "...

" A Pen that Sings "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

A pen that sings
for special needs
extending ideas
going bumpity
along thin
blue lines

going out
for a ride
forced to sneak
behind drivers
while flipping down
sun visors at night

crossing double
yellow lines
along darkening
highways

blindfolds
on the side
for teen idols
as headliners
going viral

like dire guides
suffering from alpine
frost bite at the peak
of the summertime...
