" A Tentative Willingness "
by Suzán Jiván
A tentative willingness
after pledging to deliver
an impenetrable detection
at the mid level
of serious presences
by betting heavily on surprising sets
of suspects as nothing less
than human attempts
to comprehend first steps
with a reference to dust settling
across continents
as exacting measurements
when millennia
intersect at sunset
packed with celestially
feckless pilgrims themselves...

Finicky Beings
" Finicky Beings "
by Suzán Jiván
Finicky beings
after 15 years
of holography
as a laser beam is split
like something akin
to a red-light district
where ear hair is visible
for hyper realists
spying behind
louvered blinds...

After Lending Themselves
" After Lending Themselves "
by Suzán Jiván
After lending themselves
to generous selections
of the more interesting
festive eras of decadence
as less likely ingratiation
and more than likely disintegration
of social change churned away
least inspired and highly derided
iced over commissions of suicide
bearing a collar like scar
after felling mahogany
and secretly recoiling
between weeping
and prying while trying
to let the word get out...

Featuring Stout Trees: Haiku Series
"Featuring Stout Trees: Haiku Series"
by Suzán Jiván
Featuring stout trees
more or less interesting
popping up on streets
as cicadas sing,
"That may be a funny thing"
in summer seasons
over the city
curvy, knobby head beauties
as necessities
temporarily
riddle-solved calamities
seemingly cheesy
like mad cow disease
in tacky metallic green
filmed as elderly
modern history
teased from molten beginnings
whimsically glib
ghostly white linen
materially driven
faint equivalents...

Appreciate the Acuity
" Appreciate the Acuity "
by Suzán Jiván
Appreciate the acuity
mostly strangely
by skipping the stadium
while on the plain
of greatly differing situations
like newly created public faces
of upfront presentations
in arrays of entertainment
as excellent as modern slang
diddling with noble ranks
in a contagion of graces...

Knowing the Place
" Knowing the Place "
by Suzán Jiván
Knowing the place
urged to stay
staking claims
calendar calculated
deeply in brains
marking initial phases
of migration
by plunging into the main
cobblestone lane
as wolf populations
mimic the behavior
of colored lasers
making their way
to inflatable egg layers
roughly translated as dog days...

Sticking Around
" Sticking Around "
by Suzán Jiván
Sticking around
sufficiently off balance
as war re-enactors
with extravagant
over-reactions
to nothing tangible
like newly shorn hair
taking short
cuts across
ordinary streets
while slithering
at a good clip
with creepily real-
life sheer extremities...

Is it Impossible to Watch?
" Is it Impossible to Watch? "
by Suzán Jiván
Is it impossible to watch
a somewhat crotchety codger
as a silver fox of chaos?
entombed in pickle jars
with much of the heart
put on like armor for robots
toddling with mildewy copies
of comics looming large
with subplots of the improbable
dead set against preposterous stardom
being turned on by lopsided nostrils
even if they be slightly creepy
in creature-features on family TV
like blustery bubble-gum pink bullies
themed as nubby tactility
with idiosyncratic tics strapped in...

Specializing in Tipping
" Specializing in Tipping "
by Suzán Jiván
Specializing in tipping
while making a difference
by affixing twists
hinged on the familiar
of the critically witty
taking a nip
studded with multiple utterances
overheard with considerable cynicism
without warning signals
as anonymously mischievous
masked women thumbprint
firm mattresses
tracked down
to the outskirts
in irascible crowds
coerced into pushing around
rusted-out wheelbarrows
making squeaking sounds...

Battles with the Simple
" Battles with the Simple "
by Suzán Jiván
Battles with the simple
mired in unwindable
sectarian strife minus alliances
while moseying over
to day-old donations
in outbreaks of ancient havens
as perambulations
beneath aerial spraying
take place at daybreak...

Tensions in Bids
" Tensions in Bids "
by Suzán Jiván
Tensions in bids
not only solicited
as big winners
of energy initiatives
contradicted
by little interest
in egg-headed strategists
being scrambled by activism
overcrowded by huge amounts
with aversions to taxes
no longer stagnant
almost automatic
comparatively lenient
while struggling to keep
a common currency
officially shifted...

As a Big Test
" As a Big Test "
by Suzán Jiván
As a big test of an increasing presence
leveling off, then ticking up again
within the vetting of potential
vice presidents
while magnates of mandates
roil with anger
in vicious campaigns
throughout battleground states
as vapid passages of the past
are unable to last
against a vast amassing
of faulty software packages...

The Unknown Gobi

by Suzán Jiván
The unknown Gobi
once housed
monks now
only ghosts
leading loaded

pressing passed
water made salty
glittering
with vermilion
for visitors
while motioning
to sit
gesturing toward
clinging cliff
sparrows'
mud-pelletted
colonies of nests...

Detector Buoys
" Detector Buoys "
by Suzán Jiván
Detector buoys
track the movements of tsunamis
triggered by red dots
as violent earthquakes rocked
setting whole oceans in motion
along faults buried deeply
beneath the seafloor
some long dormant
within reports of multi-story
shelters under construction
painful for a culture
as a flock of white doves
flutters above the rubble
beneath wave-swept bubbles
blown by hundreds
of thousands of others
as the party broke up
with the wrenching
and tearing of muscles...

Deeply Split
" Deeply Split "
by Suzán Jiván
Deeply split
over the distance
in fragments
with tidbits
of the unfamiliar
as the modern
equivalent
of nothing much
creating cults
of reluctancy
tacitly admitting
that beauty
is everything
after fleeing
hyperbole
with damningly
unflattering
accuracy
sarcastically
brandished
as fabricated
agony
sidesplittingly
inflicted
as seen fit...
