"Pretty Much Keeping Mum"...

" Pretty Much Keeping Mum "

by Suzán Jiv

Pretty much
keeping mum
all at once

touched up
mashed up
fur chubbies

truncheonly
blunt
gone clubbing

stunningly
ascendent
discussions

ultimately
doing
lunch



landing plum
in the center
of rough-
and tumble
numbers

like tumultuously
bad luck
coming in from others

having given up
on trust
feeling shaken up

single and young
falling in love
"I got ya covered!"

in the aftermath
brushed back hair
with a dainty veil

on a large scale
of only half
as an anticlimax

capable of vastness
hung over a cloud
in rarified air...
