Highly Distressed Flowerheads

" Highly Distressed Flowerheads "

by Suzán Jiván

Energized tension
without concession
as highly distressed
flowerheads
in search of respite
Growing low
to the ground
near the center
of gravity
like fingertips
on window sills
Firing on all cylinders
of pocketsized ivory
increasingly reliant
on the dicey
Yaying and hurraying
refusing to give way
to naysayers
as colorful stickpins
on festive grids...
