late advisors top rivals side by side 

encrypted web designs …

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

people will stop along pathways to college

hiring dishwashers hoodwinked conflicts 

ending inequalities horizontally …

 “Take Heed”

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

ill-conceived policies in living memory

“ Breaking Out “ ...

” Breaking Out “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Breaking out
closing highways
fleeing fires
canyons coast lines

widening eyes
beneath smoke-
blackened skies

igniting funeral pyres
while eavesdropping
on topiary gardens

carved dense blocks
of boxy yews
curlicues scarlet tulips

under-written rules
feigning feeling moved
tearing reddening eyes

embedded in bright lime
via gravity-defying
white lightning strikes...

“ Pushing “ ...

” Pushing “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Pushing the limits
of  “long-beens”
increasingly building
stylistically driven
global ambitions

debuting unfiltered literature
once considered, “original”
via commercial hits
while hinging on short-listed-
nonfiction illiteracy

for unofficially prominent
figures as oral traditions
of science fiction
gain societal prominence
offering child-proofing options
uncouth “toodle-oos”
scribbled in the margins...

" Docs on Battlefields "...

" Docs on Battlefields "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Docs on battlefields
with half kisses
like the last words
of The Pledge of Allegiance

for mom-and-pop candy shops
not showing one's age
during weight classifications
of beardless faces
spouting scholarly phrases
from The Olden Days

given unflattering makeovers
in recent portrayals
by Pre-K illustrators
being buoyed over multi-
generations all in crayon...

" Our Mother "

" Our Mother "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Our Mother
knowing
each crevice
and gully
forests
plus jungle
hunter
and hunted
just up
ahead of us
coming in
from downwind
heat glistening
litheness of Spring
within
larger
rivers
as seen
upwind
with tails
twitching
coal-black
jagged
placid
fractures
sudden
abandonment
no longer
lunging
or running
yet silently
listening
while ascending
into ceaseless
steepness
faces unseen
tilting
spirits lifted
by magicians
over final
windy ridges
closing
distances
re-entering
side hilling
well-lit...

" In a Configuration "...

" In a Configuration "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán 

In a configuration 
elevated on poles
becoming overgrown
and raggedy 
while wandering sadly 

discovering
whimsical 
whimsies
as audio pieces
in narratives
by denim-clad
extended families

along circuitous
routes of somehow
crystalline 
yet marvelously
mod élan
having gone
into organic farming

like hovering
bees and wasps
visiting blossoms 
well worth watching 
as well-maintained
strains of modernism 
from way down
on the farm...

" Getting Closer to the Ground "...

" Getting Closer
to the Ground "

by Suzán Jiván 
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán 

Getting closer
to the ground 
in a roll out
for transplants 
left up in the air
by funding bans
for displacement camps
due to clashes
after coming under attack
due to lacks of understanding 

as odder artifacts 
contemplating star power
both real and imagined 
like lossely applied patches 
for grampas in uncanny
moon landings 

by bobble-headed tchotchkes 
donning rain bonnets 
of melancholy for starlings 
sounding alarms 
over petrified logs
sitting atop polished marble
noisily congregating in flocks...

Take the Stage

" Take the Stage "

by Suzán Jiván

A number
of big names
take the stage
breathing relief
featuring sighing
yielding kaleidoscopic
oxygen as artists
Elevated on a small
inaugural pedestal
in an original
retrospective exhibition
flourishing commensurate
with memory
on a free-standing
hand-holdable scale...

A Far

" A Far "

by Suzán Jován

A desti-
nation as
it happens like
an enactment of bas
relief perfectly installed soothingly
decorous all along a far opposite wall

A wing
resembling
recent history
tapering toward
an inexhaustibly small
flexible point delicately strong

Converse as a semi-circular purpose
stacked vertically as happenstance
in a thread-bare tapestry
hanging awkwardly
like a life-size
portrait

An archive carved out then flattened
as solicitous facets silhouetted
conceptually against
severity...

In Working Order

" In Working Order "
by Suzán Jiván

for Edward

No word yet
as overdue attention
known in the press
like an erstwhile member
for good measure
in amorous speculation
of a courtship portent
still in working order
Next door piquant whimsy
as swirls of smokey aromas
evoke puffed-up sumptuous love
well blended with spunkily
punctilious fun
A breezy speedy romantic comedy
balancing acts of panic
with stages of panacea
as scares and laughs
in credible parodies
rolling in the aisles
with knock-em-dead punchlines
Advice as supplied by borderline
crazed eyes and bittersweet smiles
with heady questions about life
at a precisely benign one-at-a-time
inside newly acquired reminders
Highlights as high jinks performed live
like decidedly psyched first-time
"wheres" and "whys" while keeping
an eye on vaguely faceless
crusty landscapes of mundane
yet penetrating ideas and information
in matinees for the greatest
idols ever reclaimed...

Amorously at Sea

" Amorously at Sea "

by Suzán Jiván
for Edward

Written
leaving
you pining
and opining
while lurching
between outrage
and titillation
rising with grace
above
honeyed hokum
by embracing
the lonesome
until an overly-
long impromptu
farce
with a definitively
dark denouement
like a bizarrely
banal
disco throb
threatening
to dislodge
unassuming
pop
with rebellious
verbosity
in themselves
implicitly
within proximity
to towering
floating palaces
as shamanic
imagining
outside
of the mainstream
amorously at sea...
at sea...

Mesmerized

" Mesmerized "

by Suzán Jiván

for Edward

Mesmerized
by the glinting globe
levitating in dedication
to the consecrated
radiance of re-
creation as a new face
Fantastically late
romance acclaimed
for its clarity
with its mix
of simplicity
and charisma
in an instant
with the promise
of a call-and-response opera
Gazing steadily into a perpetually
flickering flame of significance
with contradiction measured
in seconds and mentioned
in revelations like candle flames
emanating life's laments
in silent light
Likely to strike
as a timely reassignment
of deeply satisfying smiles
outshined by undeniable
chaos of daily life
Star-spangled vagaries
like twee comedies
at once whimsical
yet perfectly serious
coming with tears
caught between
ideals and the imperial
Crowned as observed
chronicles lyrically conveyed
and beneficently celebrated
like a reliable guide
into a grand environ
The new wave
as a medal festival
with the folkiest fare yet
like the jovial regardlessness
of a thrashing vanguard
in the form
of a vaunted nautical song...

Every Layer

" Every Layer "

by Suzán Jiván

Free adaptation
as creative imagination
taking a fateful shock to awaken
a namesake from every layer
of an older generation
as animated ubiquitous natures
at hurried paces without reservation
Brightening giants inviting
tucked-away bravery as mitigation
for the disarrangements
of the everyday
waxing and waning
along maudlin byways
More appealing having seen
dashing ability to adopt
aberrant generosity
toward all-star qualities
born of melancholic frailties
Beyond the jokes
either industrious or lucky
hooking up long-running
one liners like dot-to-dot improv
And the beat goes on
as a mythic comic
increasingly kvetchy
with percussive etiquette
sold out for the run
as the hit-packed essence
of escapist entertainment
mostly enervating
Rocking to raise the radiance
of a gaudy good time
by pioneering larger-than-life
entertainment as the shining
of the hyperactively flashy
much like midlife...

Like None Other

" Like None Other "

by Suzán Jiván

A sigh of relief
featuring unique
city streets
in keeping
with sundry
symmetry
fluttery
and slightly fuzzy
like none other
More than one
not to be trusted
in the midst
of manipulative
Impishness
both tickled
and anxious
when addled
by laughter
as laid-back
giggly panic
One at a time
emerging
feeling like
a disparaged
and quirkily
amorous
distraction
like a three-
character fable
sharing a name
as an antidote
to malaise
distilled within
a politely
chilly distance...

Clearly Having a Blast

" Clearly Having a Blast "

by Suzán Jiván

Clearly having a blast
as a passel of hilarious
title characters in civics class
capturing genial slackers
as allegorical modalities of calamity
like lush harmonies
nodding to the bucolic
like the entirely seaside realities
of slightly dotting
spray-tanned caricatures
in a vast canvas
of uncanny enchantment
increasingly in demand
as garrulous galas
of selectively adapted
coercive old masters
in handfuls of painstaking details...

Unraveling

" Unraveling "

by Suzán Jiván

Ramblings of a timeshare
with the gap between large-scale
unraveling
and the truth of the matter
well-acted
like silliness and sublimity
in the lead
of the murky complexity
of a fiendishly
clear-cut make believe
as venerable would-be
titularly grisly sendups
of noxiously nonstop
parodies of bleak mysteries
in the meantime...

This New Edition

" This New Edition "

by Suzán Jiván

Good-hearted
yet uneven
stylized screenings
of malignant demons
with timid piety
albeit eking
to an even
greater degree
as the latest teaser
adept at wielding
a pretty good sense
of whether
the fun is infectious
like this new edition
centered on venerable
direction waxing eloquently
as vague layovers
of maybes...

Under the Assumption

" Under the Assumption "

by Suzán Jiván

A welter of sentiment
transcending pretension
as stubbornly emotionless
under the assumption
of more-than-one latest lover
not saying much
like many a sculpture
overshadowed by younger
enviable luster
Broadening the story
with more affection than regret
as instructive benefit
gently tweaked by the fond memories
of a closet beatnik
feeling like the padding
in the costumes worn by a posse
of the past
Looking back grappling
with multi-character absurdist attacks
on the futility of language as chitchat
of a less-than-flattering cast
increasingly in demand
with wisecracks and flashbacks
in a riot of spangles...

As Seekers to Deities

" As Seekers to Deities "

by Suzán Jiván

A tad out of place
located in an unrestrained
self-perpetuating landscape
containing miraculous realizations
as seekers of deities
Rich and lavish at first glance
arranged as amorphous configurations
of " oom-pah oom-pah oom-pah-pah"
Like the savvy miscellany
of a stamping flamenco dance
slapping out beats, tapping
percussively with the rhythmic oddities
of trilling feet as well as standing still
in a precisionally striking position...

Despite the Odds

" Despite the Odds "

by Suzán Jiván

Despite the odds,
nonfictional chronicles
waft with new-found
knowledge
atop parcels
of pastoral sod
Becoming promising
as greatly enlarged
semi-circle arches
of sonorous philosophies
re-enacted as passels
of antebellum glass
Here and there
areas of expansion
preside like a conscience
in scratchy noir from the very start
Relocating in unrestrained
self-perpetuating landscapes
seen as seekers to deities...

Finding the Answer

" Finding the Answer "

by Suzán Jiván

Daring to dance
in banded sandals
after lying prone
over swollen knolls
of the unknown

A rare site
informally concise
while being hinted
at by precisely
circled letters within
a puzzler's grip

After a fashion
finding the answer
dealing in rags
and hailing
the tanglings
of ready-to-wear
with chic heat
and glare...

Areas of Morning Fog

" Areas of Morning Fog "

by Suzán Jiván

Areas of morning fog
forecast for tomorrow
as an extraordinarily
bewildering beginning
sleepily blinking
and nearly breathing in
the re-appearing ether
as light defines life
immediately upon arrival

Like feelings seen
as out-of-body
experiences
collectively linking
transparencies in packs
as dopplegängers dance
in free-standing
ectoplasmic camps

With memory-inducing music
concluding as illusion
by making use of tubing
glaring brass
and reverberating reeds
in upbeat rhapsodies
of downloaded realities...

Hyperpatterns

" Hyperpatterns "

by Suzán Jiván

A serious
showcase
of swagger
in hyperpatterns
of happenstance
as the seminal
grooves
of newly retooled
skin-deep tatoos

In the order
of freewheeling
priorities
ruining tries
to outrightly
undermine
revivals
as nostalgic
contrivances

In evidence
in between
the kinky
and the queasy
while waging
stealthy
intoxication
and
inordinately
poisonous
forgings
of blatant
deprivations
of fate...

Randomly Inhaling

" Randomly Inhaling "

by Suzán Jiván

It's only a matter
of having been
in the picture
depicted cryptically
in miniature
like a nightmarish
example of jocularity
only available in the past

As docile inhabitants
randomly inhaling
masses of stale air
having been spooked
by the ensuing
hullabaloo of a bazooka

Undeniable resonance
like didactical aspects
of diasporous actions
evoking eye-opening
compassion
as extravaganzas
seen in legions
of mass media...

A Far-Off Nocturne

" A Far-Off Nocturne "

by Suzán Jiván

Currently competing
with relinquishing inklings
like a call-and-response opera
after appearing in varying pieces
as light gazers at night
peering at bits of life
within a far-off-nocturne

Dedicated to the memory
as an experiment
in restlessness
with impassioned
words and gestures
as primary elements
within the totality
of partial recall ground
into complex compounds

Repeats as much as anything
adhere to experiencing
probing confoundings posed
as over-blown voice overs...

Notorious Days

" Notorious Days "

by Suzán Jiván

Notorious days
of wit and concision
with sly, hangdog brilliance
stepping nimbly passed
an unexamined schematic
stacked anachronistically
with the garrulous disparities
of rancorous romance

From gravity to good humor
fast-moving and emphatic
challenged by circumstance
and a starchy hierarchy
with the contradictions
of class as nasty vestiges
of malevolence
played rather stagily

Reinforced decorum
in old-fashioned stories
told as tales of fair-mindedness
while plotting storylines with irony
and outlining the undermining
of an original design
like contrived denial...

Summoned Up

" Summoned Up "

by Suzán Jiván

Surprisingly O.K.
after nearly fatal times
summoned up
as sanguineous dust
from perfunctory
mumbles structured
like cunning glimpses
of physicianal blips
with minimal credibility

Feeling remarkably well
after shifting attention
from the background
to the foreground
nudging the focus
in and out
with exhausting
and exhilarating
regularity
while tuning out
the sounds
of now and then

As a jaundiced look
at the subliminal muddlement
of backward masking
seemingly spared
from foot-dragging tactics
and hair-raising plans

By brainwashing
everything
with nerve-racking
washed out views
of luminary newbies
as fleeting clean ups
of family histories
drinking heavily
with bulging cheeks
squaring off all the more
as hoary longtime
backslides in quick time...

Attention to Many

" Attention to Many "

by Suzán Jiván

Suddenly turning then stalling
after recalling burning
attention to many
attempts to splice together
long pauses with short
bursts of spent energy

At the site of mere insight
belied by cult-like
indecipherable silences
striking underlying
noncompliances
with quiet defiance

Abbreviated communication
as a minimization
of long-engaging conversations
with the accentuation
on curt blurbs and terse learning

Implanted in asphalt
as hilariously blasphemous
exhibiting astonishing dexterity
as perverts prowl in search
of tumultuously driven love
handed off as a taut
paranoia with pause

In advance held as a pair
in example of supple love
powerfully colorful
while wonderfully wily
at the same time
with lively mutations
overtaking becoming staid

A contemporary number
combining pattering feet
with tilting upper body beneath
an amplified cloudless sky
like divine sapphire eyes
shining as azure seas
undulating with appeal...

A Contest

" A Contest "

by Suzán Jiván

A contest
among objects
as mash-ups
enhancing
the scantily clad
with hazy infatuation
ranked
as frankly changing
giving way
to inner radiance

Strictly personal
and well worth
noting
after overcoming
studies in emotion
taken over
as moments of old
like close-mouthed
makeovers

Around the same time
done from life
most likely dramatized
and long been defined
like self-described icons
as highlighted triumphs
rectified by diodes...

Vivified Daily Life

" Vivified Daily Life "

by Suzán Jiván

Cross
fertilizing
the benign
with delight
like a hybridized desire
to thrive by striving
to be realized as disciples
of vivified daily life

A typical scene circling
as if in a tepid mixture
of average imaginings
artistically switching
as atypically rich
mixtures of mythic
compounds soundly
grounded In enormous
mounds of the profound...

In Some Doubt

" In Some Doubt "

by Suzán Jiván

In some doubt gazing down
far beyond genres of calmness
suddenly marred by harsh alarms
of imminent bodily harm
donned as pitted armor
in defense against decrepitness

Immediate impressions
stretching and flexing
with fundamental intensity
while making mention
of wildly textured
and arresting expressions
of desperate measures to no end

Still timely like frantic additions
to a fictional circle of friends
as quasi-collaborative havoc
clamoring for an honorary goth

Left at the door oddly
distorted and abnormally course
abruptly swung open without warning
in accordance with hinging
on the apocalyptic...

Akin to a Nocturne Din

" Akin to a Nocturne Din "

by Suzán Jiván

Visibly and palpably
nonplussed by tumult
akin to a nocturne din
as if in an unhusking
of the sun

In an arc of pitch darkness
with the eery feeling
of being unable to see
the perceived remedial
beamings from the east
as a restoratively
vigorous elixir
imbibed like fine lines
of intense de-light

As nighttime
rivaling a blind-
sided outsider
kowtowing
in silence
while shying
away
from the pervasive
wanings of lunate phases
across cratered faces...

Learning Patience

" Learning Patience "

by Suzán Jiván

Learning patience
studied greatly
as a mainstay
in new pages
stipulating grace

Echoing the way
to spontaneous
awakenings
within the coursing veins
of multiple natures
like simultaneous
chaos and isolation
relayed as communicative states
staked as opposing claims
of " we " versus " you me "

A rather tricky task
languishing in abandonment
and despair in a haphazardly
long passage still huddled
all of a sudden
with irrepressible love

Coming into question
line the verdant freshness
of a clenched single stem drenched
with lugubrious duplicitousness
as societal tiers of like-mindedness

High ranking after ebbing
innocence and guilt
become resurgently emergent
as learned research...

As a Glorious Wall

" As a Glorious Wall "

by Suzán Jiván

As a glorious wall
of water poured
all across
steps of cement
like commemorative
reflections streaming
in remembrance

Crosscurrents
given up
as younger
excerpts
exerting
volatility
in complex
connections
expressed
with an ultimately
inexplicable cringe

Hinting at joy
recalled
with longing
for discourse
in proportion
to a double door
being restored
all across
all of the corners

Like a minor sidebar
of something modest
with other parts
of the larger
compressed
with the memo
and motto:
" With Gravity and Heart "

In conversation
dedicated to making
embodiments
like homilies
sustained as panes...

Breezeway

" Breezeway "
by Suzán Jiván
Didn't quite see
the magic admittedly
in proximity to dreams
within the breathtaking
scapes of the breezeway
A conservator
thoughtfully
talking of choice
as a glorious
scene in keeping
with the master suite
all about being
In the woods
on a slope
near the water
filled with big ideas
and tremendous lessons
This season as an end
as well as a beginning
like glimmering
in midstream
while simultaneously
highlighting whispering
like a trickle
then coursing
ias a torrent
Walls of glass
flying
through the air
miles apart
in parlance
with panicled
grasses
and native
plants
The latest translation
may contain old refrains
as cities and states
brace for record-breaking
deluges staged
in syncopation
with tropical waves
Chiseling on strings
with a quiver
as a wispy ritual
like a sibilant shimmer
pitching in the wind...

Diaphanous Days

" Diaphanous Days "

by Suzán Jiván

Not nearly
as optically deafening
as a feminist spin
gleaning ideas
somewhere in an heir

Pitched
as a spot-on
semi-star
like a cosmic con
shooting through
a nocturne ruse

In serenity
being buoyed
by fantasy
and perky
soundtracks
however damaged
by harsh narratives
versed with the resiliency
of ritualistic clarity
as if in a hymn

Such concentrated company
cursively blurring
after being vigorously stirred
circling urgently
churning with uncertainty

Concentric sentences
in retrospection
well ahead
of words
in falsetto

No longer
drastically
reduced
to dot-to-dot
and a-de-da
with a lotta
hoop la

Raw emotions
mostly exposed
and uncontrolled
while on the road
with an overload
of cargo

Grasping secrets
seemingly revealed
sparingly scrambling
after extravagance
otherwise lacking
in tricky gambits
as sleight of hand

A subtle flux
making way
for others
with adjustments
like rejiggering genius
as little-seen
boundless energy

After performing in limbo
as a digital literary tic
of ethnicity
with critical conviction
within the lyrics

All-embracing
kinetic states
staking claims
as declarations
stipulated
like rearranged
days in amazement

Across time
like a mind
in keeping
with digging deeply
by simply scratching
at bristling imaginings
within bastions
of now and then

Assemblages
like ovoid foils
stationed before
living proximity
as resin-filled
dissolving
watch parts
follow solitary
witherings
in synthesis
with essentially
intrepid
heart-felt
elements

Of all-encompassing glee
added with alacrity
by de-emphasizing tragedy
and strongly reinforcing joy

In particular
rather practical
abstractions
as examples
in sharp detail
like fashionable
masquerades
stretching parameters
as battered shadows

Being recalled
with distortion
against white walls
of adornment
from strips of cloth
as pompadours
in disorder

Complex content
innovatively tenacious
and elliptically filled
as parted lips
with the temporal evidence
of ancestral endlessness

As black ceramic
beaded masks
in transformative fashion
as a massive gallery
filled to capacity
with tarnished brass

All the features
more intelligently
and exemplary
after rethinking
in mediums
of creativity
with certainty

In many ways
as always
no absolute break
only probity
upholding
cradling grace
as an upturned face
in divination

As the half-closed eyes
of a sleepy child
desiring nighty-night
while feeling excitedly
wide-eyed at exactly
the same time

Combining aspects
as elaborate patterns
of the supernatural
generally letting
mystery be
overpowering

In remembrance
with confidence
otherwise argued
as cantatas
for monuments
shaped and excavated
after devastation

Including the mighty
while aspiring
to set apart
objects of art
in a linear chemistry
patterned after scars

Dashing across marble
in perpetual acknowledgement
of inseparably demonstrative
ardor for honor
of the largely unknown

Quickly transitioning
as depicted cliffs
signaling steeping
sensibilities as in gripping
ripplings of red-tinged tips

Pensively leaf peeping
along snaking streams
of offerings
as dazzling dawnings
spawning
dew-dropped strands
in morning

As a series
for all seasons
seemingly silky
with stenciled
calligraphy

Giving the illusion
of translucency
while wafting
floor to ceiling
like flyweight
yesterdays
of diaphanous
day-to-days...
