" Not as Estranged as It Might Seem"

" Not as Estranged
as It Might Seem "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Not as estranged
as it might seem
reawakening unfolding
into rather complicated shapes
of uncertainty even today

centuries later
impractical planes
sadly mutilated
depending on angles
new heights being attained

reinforced corners
for three stories
inevitably exaggerated
and highly praised

like undulations
of tracery innovations
in between bays
conspicuously graceful
and even greater

agonized faces
displaying
up-to-date traits
crowded spaces
miniature paintings

all done by laymen
at a leisurely pace
well under way
in the first place
suffice it to say
while making
final arrangements...

" Playing "...

" Playing "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Playing with complexities
of semi-autobiographies
It's tricky! like tailoring
salt-and-pepper long hair

new-fangled males and females
still trying to stabilize their craft
floating in mid air
as ambitious expansions
of sports spectaculars

for King Kongs for example
by exchanging banter
with golden-haired handmaidens
staring open-mouthed
on versions of long-playing albums

spinning at high capacity
zeroing in on class
as celebrities behave
badly in tall tales

tragically flashing back
into hatdscrabbled arrogance
stressing the fragile
and approaching collapse

whispering, "Why exactly?"
being left unanswered
seen trailing maladaptive
software packages...

" Forthcoming "...

" Forthcoming "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Forthcoming the fast
the flashy afterlives
"What's inside?"
"Perfect timing?"

rambling through highlights
as if you like rewriting sci-fi
via impinging insights recombined
by pressing, "re-wind"

blithely obliging surviving
daguerreotypes of mankind
as formalized allies with squinty eyes
messaging rates may apply

so why not give it a try?
affably chap like by design
the very idea of feeling cheery
distortion-free serendipities

being unleashed preserving sanity
alleviating anxiety crucially
factoring departing naturally
relative to canons of massively
expansive glitteriny galaxies...

" The Ultimate "...

" The Ultimate "..,

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

The ultimate buzz
media coverage
of blockbusters
while donning goggles
in the Galapagos

indicating increased blood flow
plus greater focus on fast-growing
info-loads for virtuosos on riverboats

like rightly sos swooning over no-nos
being left alone via effective bio-control
perceived as the utmost echolocation
emanating from bat homes
atop multiple glistening poles...

" As a Master "...

" As a Master "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

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...
