“ An Oasis “...

” An Oasis “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

An oasis astro
constellations
incomprehensibly
nonstop
telescopic cosmic
dramas

being brainwashed
while watching
shooting stars
with bravado
in narrow darkening
back yards

yet taken to heart
as ogled superstars
during something
of a departure
from exact opposites

seen like open-collared
works-in-progress
still seemingly calm
stylized by constant alarm
ardently barking, “No Comment!”...

“ Innermost “...

” Innermost “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Innermost
in particulars
as primitive bristly
brush sentries
seeing themselves
while calling attention
to critical questions

yet getting way ahead
of ourselves
being subconsciously
represented
by our telling tendencies
to suffer distresses

all in a certain sense
within aesthetic contents
of legendarily gestural
figurative elements
perceived like group identities
sparking kaleidoscopic arks...

“ As an Excercise “...

“ As an Excercise “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

As an excercise
developing one’s own
style of devotion

columns with drapes
background landscapes
three-quarters length

over simplification
mythological
representation

slightly turned to the right
eyes gazing to one side
broken by light

painted disciples
striking
sleeping child

highly prized
heads inclined
clearly signed
snakes entwined...

“ An Origin “...

“ An Origin “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

An origin story
opening up
come summer

with reason
as a subject
of cross-culture

producing
something-
or-other

somewhat
flawed
and tawdry

thunderous roars
selected as choice
early morn’s

mortals stopping talking
tragically tracking metaphors
all for a song of longing

recently launched
split to join
billions of puffballs

all for the offing
goose bump causes
fingers crossed...

“ Staggering”...

” Staggering “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Staggering virtuosity
hundreds of pieces
beneath cardboard sheets

like initial encounterings
of recurrent life-size themes
still being practiced here

like secret societies
embodied in mirrors
of errant societies

made up from vegetable peelings
suggesting embossing and embroidery
while forming foundational stories

passed down orally in all
their former glory as allegorical
cross-cultural adornments...

“Suggesting”...

“ Suggesting “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Suggesting
undergoing
the “all-too-well”
views of inherent
general developments

yet still stipulating ”howevers”
even if I do say so myself
to “little-or-know” effect
on conventional interventions

as expendable fresh content
from post-modern phenomenons
contained in non-existent myths
via ultra-modern apocalyptic Cyclopes
chronically lobbying nano-bombs...

“ So, What’s New?”

” So, What’s New?”

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

So, what’s new?
Keys to legal issues
like defamation
as deep-fried declarations
being hyphenated,
“Day-To-Day”?

feeling deflated
by prior obligations
to the state labeled, “D-Day”
along with catchy phrases
for Atomic Ages

picking daisies
plucking petals
one-by-one,
“ He loves me,
he loves me not
   He loves me,
he loves me not
   He loves me,
he loves me not”

Etcetera
Etcetera
Etcetera...

“ Individualistic Influences “...

“ Individualistic Influences “

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Individualistic influences
medicinal in internal stillnesses
priest-ridden rituals stressing
striking differences due to over-empathy

exhibiting knitted brows
outlined outlier eyes
unfreezed immobility
seen in low relief

more pliability sheerly
staggering inhabiting
collapsing ziggurats
like characters on clay tablets

concerning the trappings
of the hereafter richly endowed
largely vast factors
due to random chance

transmitting a god’s commands
keepings of details
serving as schematically static
stand-ins rapidly turning on lathes

along processional paths
growing in angular diameter
yielding massive statuary
all in avoidance of distraction

modeled after addition
rather than subtraction
gazing between branches
with wide-eyed fascination

gathering soft materials for casting
tantalizing inlaid panels overlapping
human and deific interactions
surpassing idle chatter

paradoxically cut in half
atop stone slabs
incrementally
ever-expanding...

“ Writer “...

” Writer “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Writer recognized
merits of life
wax tablets divine
styluses brilliant fires

souls of righteousness
most notable nonetheless
via unclear perspectives

like miniatures
painted on parchment
principal allegorical qualities

insatiable curiosity
elegant garments
avoided of idolatry
as anti-monuments
upon shallow carvings

limited repertoires
critically symbolic
being shown against all odds...

“ Actions “...

” Actions “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Actions to keep out
delaying tactics
leading to break downs

yet remaining unannounced
due to stretching out
long-withheld lowdowns

like unfound unfought battles
as turned-down salvos
with little-or-no bravado
for making bombs
and placing booby traps

while hackers cast
long shadows
that inflict far greater damage

as massive systems crash
and strong storms make landfall
while sirens are heard calling
all along rocky shores

recoiling atop inflammatory platforms
undereportedly casting palls
having had way-too-many second thoughts...

“Actualization as Accumulation”...

“ Actualization as Accumulation “

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Actualization
as accumulation
of incremental change

at times typified
by doves
that can no longer fly

relegated to still lifes
while in exile
denied conventions
early in life

unmodified chains
hanging around waists
signed and dated

quickly imitated
precious stone decorations
bestowed by protégés

gaining fame
as flagellation of saviors
portrayed in narrative paintings

stunning lace cuffs high collars with ruffs
suggestive and unsubtle sensual touching
of fresh-cut flowers thrust into doublets...
