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...
