“ Lingering and Beckoning “ ...

” Lingering and Beckoning “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Lingering
and beckoning
sweet sticky
rainbow sprinkles

morsels of meringue
in balance cooking
and baking apples
textural add ins
unfailing happiness

white black red accents
highly adaptable fare
bound to a past
of growing despair

proactive failings
shifting landscapes
pitching states
making straight A’s

smiling faces
moments later
recovering the faithful
Sunday invitations

savored over decades
fool-proof two scoops
two spoons all that is truly
“maraschino”, stems too...

“ Coming Alive “ ...

” Coming Alive “

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Coming alive on paper
fanciful shapes popping champagne
extending New Year’s invitations
up-dated explorations whistling
thorn acacias looking away vacantly
having learned from mistakes
bearded faces shimmering sideways
across opening plains flurrying snowflakes
on a Saturday glistening double-lane highways
thinking twice wide-eyed delight...

“ An Ensorcelled World “ ...

“ An Ensorcelled World “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

An ensorcelled world
bewitching murmurs
shaman’s sermons
deeply personal
treasure trove modes
wholesome “Motherlodes”
savored slowly
bonus nonnegotiables
as foretold within
the inner folds of Eros...

“ Already Revved Up “ ...

” Already Revved Up “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Already revved up
late-life
expressions of energy

bright psychedelic and sexy
subjects and contents
altering perceptions

experimental aspects
lights and hanging glass
quiet flamboyant flair

feminine laughter
inventors of assemblages
power and topicality

white light flattened horizons
spreading ever-dependable
re-invention next-level lushness

mesmerizing effects
imaginative Sanskrit parchment
inscrutabilities secret optics

startling lucidity detangling
of dreams early morning
shadowed knowingness

smoking incense
sixth senses
supple petals...

“ Universals “ ...

” Universals “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Universals
of child language
grasping meaning
like, “ allgone shoe”
“doed” “feet”
“mice”and “teeth”

“I want no supper”
“Where my mitten?”
“What me think?”
“How they can’t talk?”

harboring thoughts
connected to an audience
detecting presences
concerning the self

to a large extent
recapturing themselves
neither hero nor insect
as dosages of consciousness

for grammatical familial affection
via ever-present yet perplexing sentences,
“ There no squirrels “
“ He no bite you “
“ No pinch me “ ...

“ Bowled Over “ ...

” Bowled Over “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Bowled over
traversing
tough rows to hoe
“Look Out Below!”

hearing honking
saxophones
during eye-popping
gossip name-dropping
automatons of tomorrow

stay-at-home moms
cuddling toddlers
mimicking avatars
of  “Believe It or Not”

as neat denouements
minus argument
superlative ensembles
“The show must go on!”

preparing calmly
for a breakneck drama
after getting a late start
with little bravado

commanding yin-yang
macro micro ogling superstars
uncovering the indomitable
going on wantonly

acclaiming prophets
with great pomp
as points of departure
metaphorically
split consciousness

heard constantly prodding
cruxes of problems
yet left unresolved
via indistinguishable remarks
while whispering constantly...

“Rapturous Chapters” ...

“ Rapturous Chapters “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Rapturous chapters
of enchantment
re-enacting exotic capitals
with magnetic attraction

slinky accessories
gathering steam
via libidinous geniuses

as kinky classics stoke demand
well worth bragging attention spans
expanding into passionate pairings
of climactic strands hand-crafted
happily-ever-after granny squares...
