by Suzán Jiván

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

In a halting monotone

with a feckless eclecticism.

unstintingly twisting
and calamitously stamping.

kiss-offs and raw
hoary voices.

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Bottoming out with an unexpectedly
fresh picker-upper and the comforting
pleasure of seemingly hitting

manic and clamorous
permanent collection
from the indelible presence
of a forewarned end
to a prescient spectacle.

A destabilizing front line

pursuing the virtual
uncertainties
of absolute truth.
