Silhouetted Brilliance

" Silhouetted Brilliance "

by Suzán Jiván

Busy
amping
up
with
flash-
backs
in
a strange
land
foreshadowed
by glamorous
attractions
of alchemy
in admiring
eye blinks
while
hiccuping
blindly
woefully
unrecognized
sniffing
and pinching
the predictably
grisly
in the midst
of whimsy
above
the groove
while
digging in
decisively
like two-timing
rarely
harmonized
velvety quiet
with the clear
delight
of youthful
reminders
hard-wired
as fictionalized
grim statistics
in a predictable grid
of silhouetted brilliance
intrinsically dimmed
by double-crossed victims
as inconsistent sentimentalists...
