" As a Master "...

" As a Master "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

As a master
of comic style
churning ironies

"slim feasting smiles "
sinewy and lithe
doing " allthelikepluspiety"

becoming dismal and stuffy in size
and number tumbling triumphs
of culture almost lovingly
nonconforming to history

liberally practicing
the ecclesiastical
sacredness of marriage
via curious accountings

long since disbanded
knocking off hats
radical in color in connexion
with public attention

meanwhile electing
to finally decide the question
of all measures of contempt
later inevitable under duress

concerns felt packed during lectures
at lecterns again and again
less evident imposing expressions
of the ordinary self

marching in procession
towards assemblage
across trampled flower-beds
to immense effect...

" Lines of Action "...

" Lines of Action "

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Lines of action attached to backgrounds
closely bound to the natural fecundity of animals
painted bison mammoths prehistoric man
relief carving demands exaggerated females

stone artifacts reindeer antlers
reconstituted plaster confused matters
disenchantment looking after inhabitants
sandstone pink granite dating back
to requirements of magic
for harmony between God and man

while deciphering tablets and stamps
with benevolent aspects absent
stigmas of mortality huge masses
artists' hands elegant objects acrobats
human scales mainlands ivory plaques

slightly redacted sun-dried hieratic styles
prototypes for afterlife instincts of violence
full-faced profiles harsh outlines
sedentary lives religious rites
endlessly realigned synthesized
darkness to light before our very eyes...

" Almost Exactly "...

" Almost Exactly " by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Almost exactly standing comfortably clearly adjusting
flattening reliefs however experimentally
as stylistic novelty minus compulsory iconography
indulging freely in juggling antiquity as well springs
metamorphosing into imaginary beings embodying
third dimensionality heightened by classicizing serenity
linked to overall individuality as well as compositional themes
of monumentality juxtaposing vital ideology while unifying
gestures with universal expressions via lively polemics
of swarming formalistic forms adhering to walls
emerging from cloisters loftily vaulted floral forms
gargoyles spitting out water becoming adornments for support
rapidly transforming more human than divine elongated proportions
as sources of spiritually altering corporeal portals
as sources of spirituality altering corporeal portals
where poignancy is being perpetually restored...
