For the most part
in-between art
real bodies
in wonkily
ardent dialogues
involving
wildly improvisational
and innovative up takes
of blonde waifs in translation
with costumes and props
displayed as handmade
with exaggerated makeup
and handsomely generated combinations seen
as somewhere between
indiscreet realism
and the mendacity
of abstraction...
by Suzán Jiván
A bit melodramatically
answering the need
for make believe
as autobiography
complete
with white knuckling
in a series
taking a little something
from each as artistic thinking
while veering toward dismantling
conflicting boundaries
within proximity
to deemed necessities...
by Suzán Jiván
Gray landscapes
populated
by pupating psyches
morphing inside
chrysalis-like
cocoons
of primordial light...
by Suzán Jiván
In varying ways
illustrating stasis
of a new day
on an anti-gravitational
glacial pavement
between bare legs...
by Suzán Jiván
One of a handful
of honeyed harmonies
scourged as perversion
uncoiling before foiled rapport...
by Suzán Jiván
On the wrong side
of wondering why
sweethearts sing
of sweet green icing
unwaveringly
as unperceived
demeaning deceit
spreading readily...
by Suzán Jiván
Rediscovered
on the brink
of one seen
this spring
in obscurity
long and winding
like hypnotic
black and white...
by Suzán Jiván
Embellished
like psychedelic
storytelling
confessing
obsessively
while tripping
with floridity
and illicit acidity...
by Suzán Jiván
A masterly tale
astonishingly fast
on a small scale
as a four-bar vamp
scarcely championing
the soon-to-be
quite possibly
exemplary
roughly
folksy...
by Suzán Jiván
More likely
coming to mind
as admired
like silent-movie styles
inspired by dichotomies
in direct lines of sight...
by Suzán Jiván
Prominently featuring
more likely to think pre-eminently
while continuing to renew a mood
of previously unseen tedious mimicry...
by Suzán Jiván
Embracing
niceties
while ringed
by floridity
and unflagging
romantic mantras...
by Suzán Jiván
Directionless
snorts 'n' struts
as posturings of macho
with un-self-conscious
intimate knowledge
of volatile subplots
chronicling unbridgeable
lamentable distances...
by Suzán Jiván
A pileup
of clichés
half-baked
by an old flame
credibly portrayed
like puerile behavior
while aging...
by Suzán Jiván
By itself
as a sense
of the poetically
independent
like impetuousness
written in lyrically squiggly lines...
by Suzán Jiván
Helps explain
by the way
of the cognoscenti
as unwilling or unable
to give up myth making...
by Suzán Jiván
An entire day
in a different way
in appreciation
of the reign
of a good-natured
embrace
culminating
as a claim
to a poetic
sense of place...
by Suzán Jiván
Beginning
by conjuring up
soap-bubble guns
and overrunning
groundswells
of spherical spectrums
floating
as handblown globes...
by Suzán Jiván
Of the day
in translation
often glacially
between stasis
and vagueness
as aviators
opining gliding
blue skies in kind...
by Suzán Jiván
Quixotic volcanoes
of papier-mâché
erupt
into fiery desires
like lava flows
glowing over
procreant cones...
by Suzán Jiván
The presence
of sets
of repeating
solitary scenes
encouraging
the drawing
of as of yet
unmet
parallels
in prevention
of the intersection
of infectious vectors...
by Suzán Jiván
A myriad
of muted
neutrals
fusing
with no
such thing
in between
like perfect
timing
and
enlightening
ideas...
by Suzán Jiván
Touches of color
in a small black
box
of handmade
props
coming apart
now gone...
by Suzán Jiván
A familial slip
heels over
a previously
unseen
fixative stream
coursing beneath
a profoundly
compounded
towering bow...

portrait by Phillip Green
Invariably murky
soon-to-be
almost wholly
absent
animated by
a bleak past
seen ultimately
as a viscous
patchwork
of uncertain
verticals
abstractly
scattered
by eclipsed
diagonals...
by Suzán Jiván
Nearly perfect
by describing
being
slightly frail
like a man
hurtling
along
with the sounds
of blairing brass...
by Suzán Jiván
With seeming ease
keeping arcing
while starting
from scratch
even after
coming
out of nowhere...
by Suzán Jiván
Seems intended
in effect as protest
with lowered expectations
according to self-
deprecating tastes in grace
albeit on an empty page...
by Suzán Jiván
Mutually exclusive
conflicted and misaligned
while shedding further light
and every single stripe...
by Suzán Jiván
Grown steadily
as a masterly tale
of the outlandishly
earth-shattering capacity
of a stone's skip away
into a shimmering lake...
by Suzán Jiván
A willingness
to signal
solid kicks
adopted
as critical
interest
while
witnessing
deliberately
illicit intimacies
as astonishingly
storied pitfalls...
by Suzán Jiván
Reflective properties
opposite page
ball chain
chain link
gamine king poesy...
by Suzán Jiván
Multidimensional
eye-brightening
highly textured
exotic quests
kept together
upon request...
by Suzán Jiván
How to match
making a splash
with love that lasts
from shining strands...
by Suzán Jiván
Brighter shades
glistening green
aquamarine
extremely supreme
no such thing...
by Suzán Jiván
Bursting
devotees
swearing
celebrity
as cleansing
energy
while tackling
toxicity...
by Suzán Jiván
A breakthrough
into a gritty state
of separation
in the everyday
shape shifting
of legs into lace...
by Suzán Jiván
Snapping
photos
while
saying,
"Cheese!"
and eagerly
overseeing
high-profile
people
just
dawning
on me...
by Suzán Jiván
Can't miss
ultimate sizzle
blazing crimson
heirloom quilts
accent pillows...
by Suzán Jiván
The endgame
fighting a plague
facing
unsustainable
waiting
in harm's way...
by Suzán Jiván
Centuries later
amazingly capable
conveyed
as a matrix
in Flamenco
like a gestation location...
by Suzán Jiván
The winning bidder
excelling
at the benefits
of dispensing
immense
canopies of green
while dangling
from pulleys
and gathering
loving diversities
between evergreens...
by Suzán Jiván
A winding path
few guardrails
sleek black
views of the past
composed in glass
smooth matte
smack in the middle
scattered with artifacts...
by Suzán Jiván
In part
unorthodox
hands
and markers
stroking harder
flapping backward
repeatedly sweeping
while beating gravity
commandingly hand-in-hand...
by Suzán Jiván
Sensually constructed
with the ultimate wonderment
of long-breathed velvety sentences
well expressed as delicate elements
of the fundamentally incredible...
