The Struggle

" The Struggle "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

The struggle
aging sustain-
ability main-
taining strength
decades later
regaining
the data
overhanging
dangling delays
of mayhem.

Somewhere in the Middle

" Somewhere in the Middle "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Somewhere
in the middle
rewritten
beneath
a mercurial orgy
of mirrored balls
reflecting soft
fingerprints all
armed
with convincing intricacies.

Gravity has Edged

" Gravity has Edged "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Gravity has edged
toward the confessional
invented anew
arriving soon
with a little night music
while on the fly
in high profile.

Safety

" Safety "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Not inclined to haggle
over safety practices
" run it, break it, fix it "
without a single
lost-time incident
with ever-increasing
contentious texts
for a scaled-down
market share
being greatly
out-weighed
by escalating
failsafes.

Plus Potential

" Plus Potential "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Things not said
overstuffed
schedules
plus potential
for many-
tentacled
directions
with prickly
impressions
as reasons
for circling.

Gilded Mahogany

" Gilded Mahogany "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Top lots
touchy
feely
leafy
gilded
mahogany
sleuthing
around
fanning
out
seemingly
wise
like
a
radiant
eye
in
a
triangle
seen
days
later
removing
adhesive
tape
from
a
landscape.

Radiancy

" Radiancy "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Twin candlesticks
depicting
mottos to mean
radiancy
while mustering
heat and intensity
by mastering
both flickering
and firebreathing
as dual epiphanies
throughout eternity.

Carving with Color

" Carving with Color "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Carving
with color
from one
to another
rethought
reworked
renewed
tinged
with
illusion
mimicking
bristling
with
obligatory
vigor
skittling
with
whims
in
brilliant
pix
of
infinite
vistas.

Dreaming Modestly

" Dreaming Modestly "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

A stopgap
pulling back
keeping
an eye out
for fingering
a split pea
as ethics
breach
far-reaching
secrets
of disease
and toxicology
looking
perfectly
sloppy
nonchalant
and dreaming
modestly.

One Interlude

" One Interlude "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

One interlude
shoots
quickly
into the next
as sensual
remembrances
conjure
force fields
and fireballs
all along
orgasmic
coursings.

Oddball Intensity

" Oddball Intensity "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Oddball intensity
in keeping
with the choppy collages
of the manic pantheons
of the cosmopolitan barrages
of the highly charged
overarching
the passing of knowledge
from unpopular mobsters
buckling
in the rapid shifts
along with the chin
tilts of a parodist.

Above a Cherrystone

" Above a Cherrystone "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Above a cherrystone
on the half shell
a mashup
in advance
glistening
in it's own liquor
as a signature dish
of the digital
fit but not skinny
tenderly ritualistic
snapping
hungrily at scraps
while sleeping
in a hammock.

Regatheting

" Regathering "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

An outbreak
priced out
but slowly
regathering
and still
remastering
cramming
for the super-
natural exam
of wackiness
in a self-parody
filled with the some-
times-dyed grinding
mediocrity of orange
munchies with memories
of green.

For the First Time

" For the First Time "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

For the first time, a saga
toward the bizarre
empirically speaking
weak to weak
increasingly seeking
to demonize serpentine
and thereby
defrock a state rock.

At First Blush

" At First Blush "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Always one-
upping
at first blush
culled
from a flurry
of stunning love
upended by a clumsy
funk all of a sudden.

Divining the Why

" Divining the Why "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Divining
the why
downsized
worldwide
like apps
and diktats
climaxing
in a highly-
publicized
bite-sized
Y.

Muse in Blue

" Muse in Blue "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Voluptuous love
in the mood
seduced
by an elusive
muse in blue.
