Epithets for the Unpregnant

" Epithets for the Unpregnant "

by Suzán Jiván

A sharp drop in obligatory stops
snubbing some forerunners
in a blood sport for a spoiler
of the poor in a portrait
coiling and recouping
after the extraordinary
flare of a muzzle flash
Framed in bronze
inserted between columns
of the long-gone
in a war monument
to conventional art
from afar but still close to the heart
with a provocative home-alone quality
as clipping attest to extensive press
largely given to men in intense
epithets for the unpregnant...
