“Preventing”

 “Preventing”

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Preventing a struggle having sacrificed many

lost to the relish of pleasure stopping progress 

meadows into bogs of power and wants 

remaining chaotic becoming wholly forgotten

as ages of nonsense ultimately ending in sorrow…

beyond sense leaves trembling 

deep wells murmured spells radiant death …

Taking over standing up

pulling together mutual friends 

weathering simmering dimensions

budding then fading on a slow news day …

“Speaking Sparingly”

 “Speaking Sparingly”

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Speaking sparingly 

walking barefoot 

descending steps 

in a white dress

hearing bleats and bells 

pots hanging from nails

ascending candle scents 

burning yellows and reds …
