Floating

" Floating "

by Suzán Jiván

Floating in jump after jump
surpassing the pulse
of ravishing simplicity
wrapped neatly
in a deceptively savvy
rippling collapse.

Elliptical

" Elliptical "

by Suzán Jiván

Irksomely elliptical new ways
for biochemicals to self-assemble
in soberingly-anxious portrayals
of inorganic matter emerging on Earth.

Pinnacle

" Pinnacle "

by Suzán Jiván

At the pinnacle with an iron grip
of sacred victories in distant cities
swelling with scarlet dissidents.

Flowery

" Flowery "

by Suzán Jiván

Clench-jawed hard-liners
swarm flowery rivals
subsuming into one
do-it-all position
made from the bene-
volent enigmas
of hedonistic hippies
lined up as tie-dyed
smiley headliners.

Unifying

" Unifying "

by Suzán Jiván

A telling sign machine designed
with unifying friction to within an inch
neatened up and flattened out
against a darkened background.

Entirely

" Entirely "

by Suzán Jiván

Entirely taped
edited and broadcast
in a war zone
easily distracted
hardly starved
ever mindful
yet, inevitably
tongue-in-cheek
excellent, slangily.

Ageing

" Ageing "

by Suzán Jiván

The look of past
visibly ageing
lazy, sun-soaked days
with a modern take
spotting benefits
by the day
at the nearest cafe
in the face of a fragrance.

Real

" Real "

by Suzán Jiván

Real talk of a sea change
outstripping the pace
of unleashed victories
by flooding the streets
with happy distractions
where the atmosphere
is far removed
from an upscale
lithe force
of cold calls.

Given

" Given "

by Suzán Jiván

Given carte blanche
despite long odds
heavy on bling
and binge commodities
acknowledging secrets
of high-mindedness
as dead-serious
apocalyptical excess again.

Uncertainty

" Uncertainty "

by Suzán Jiván

Another uncertainty
uncontrolled legacy
acknowledging fragility
of varying strands
entirely abandoned
buckling dance.

A Smidgeon

" A Smidgeon "

by Suzán Jiván

Just a smidgeon
of uplift
helps
to transition
into fragility.

Parting

" Parting "

by Suzán Jiván

Parting ways
paying full freight
as a hardball player
counting on
word of mouth
as fallout
with the barest
of details
in the luminous
dissonance
of an off-
kilter rhythm.
