" Ineffable Echoes "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube
as, " Something of a One-Note "

Something
of a one-
note Bellwort
drooping
at the end
of a forking stem
discarding
the stalkless
yellow bells
dangling
beneath
slender
arching
stems
berries
red
Hearing
ineffable echoes
soft and feathery
as past and present
laments
in threadlike torment
mixed with myth
littered
with prescriptives
of the apocalyptic
As a straight-up
impersonation
of a toppling stage
at the end
of an unsustainable
rainbow
for the unnamed
on opening day
plagued
by power plays
and becoming
upstaged
by a miming
narrator
with an amazingly
pliant spine
and a precise
choreography
of the eyes...
