pedagogical moments.

with slapdash determination
in an age of walking off stage.

by Suzán Jiván

for Frank

" Seizing On "

by Suzán Jiván

by Suzán Jiván

of a trigger.

Bottoming Out

" Bottoming Out "

by Suzán Jiván

for Frank

Bottoming out with an unexpectedly
fresh picker-upper and the comforting
pleasure of seemingly hitting
the whiskey bottle a little too hard

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

" Destabilizing "

by Suzán Jiván

for Frank

A destabilizing front line
impairing later life

persuing the virtual
uncertainties
of absolute truth.

by Suzán Jiván

from unrelenting upward pressure.

In Various Guises

" In Various Guises "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

In various guises
splitting time

melting away
with the gritty
neck and texture
of rudderless
sex and pleasure.

Seemingly Unsafe

firefights raging
throughout
higher elevations.

" Spiteful Spotlight "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

by a cagey
C.I.A.

once wiped out by ice.

Tortured

" Tortured "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

tight binding spines
over green patina
and peeling cedar.

hourglasses of sand embodying
provocative tableau vivants
and solitary wanderings.
