Leading watchdogs
dropping proxies
re-opening hostilities
sought by both parties

ultimately between
you and me
missing opportunities
under conditions
of anonymity
gambling with reality
speaking publically

dotting windfarms
igniting sparks
over deathbed squabbles
as the worst part
of the bizarre newly departed
unlocked despondency...

“Trepidation”...

“Trepidation”

by Suzán Jiván

Trepidation
of late players
sowing uncertainty
curtailing chances
continuing travails
dampening days after
the crash as inaudible gasps

proctoring tropical plants
a top palpable hot air
existing here there
and everywhere

hot lava crawling
masterfully played off
by the choruses
of the regally
and severely gorgeous
angelic hoards above scores
of marble-floored crematoriums...
