" Ending the Biblical "

by Suzán Jiván

for Linda Erlich, PhD

A saintly feeling
ending the biblical
as a beginner
on the fly
with the pre-
emptive venom
of a daredevil
and a frenzy
of momentum.

Me in Midair

" Me in Midair "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Me in midair
strong storied
with phantasmagorical
barnstorming and allegorical
importance all rumpled
by obstructive cumulus.

The Benchmark

" The Benchmark "

by Suzán Jiván

for Linda Erlich, PhD

The benchmark
of a party
famously
promising
to "drain
the swamp"
but
threatening
to tarnish
a closely-
watched
deadlock
in a headscarf.

Satisfied

" Satisfied "

by Suzán Jiván

for Linda Erlich, PhD

Still
life
church
spire
satisfied
with
the
schemes
of
life
where
fripperies
or
the
like
are
seen
as
trifles.

More Clouds than Sun

" More Clouds than Sun "

by Suzán Jiván

for Linda Erlich, PhD

More clouds
than sun
on a Sunday
as storms
spread
wet weather
in a wedding
dress
of counterfeit
protection...

Naked City

" Naked City "

by Suzán Jiván

for Linda Erlich, PhD

Alice in Chains
Slayer making
num-num noises
with poison
having no choice.

Wielding Evil

Sunday's Episode of " The Artist
and Her Progeny " begins with
" The Artist " out walking on a
steamy Sunday...

" Wielding Evil "

by Suzán Jiván

for Linda Erlich, PhD

Swigging from a nifty
drought while tossing
off a little of the lofty
by wielding evil
in a needy
realm of immediacy.
