Throwback

" Throwback "

by Suzán Jiván

for heavy-
handed
details
of the past.

Unsustainable Expectations

" Unsustainable Expectations "

by Suzán Jiván

of calamitous
dissidence.

composed
of fine
particles
of nocturnal
dust and ash.

of mainly beige.

hexagonal
metal
of an inkwell.

Bursting
with possibilities
of raw talent
and embellished
temperament

latter-day haze
florridly orchestrated
and ebulliently
annotated
by way
of a creative
breakthrough.
