Holding Out for Promise

" Holding Out for Promise "

by Suzán Jiván

for Kenny, Jimmy & Eric...

Spit and polish lavishly stocked
in an avante garde salon
of the remarkable
holding out for promise
presciently conjured
like the bygone
preoccupied
at the same time
identically in exile
with a quadruple bow and jabot
among the oldest ingeniously folded
in alternating rows striking a pose
as a shaggy coat grizzled gray
tapering at the base
speckled red
becoming widespread
standing erect
broad head digging claws
conspicuously moist
and noisy
like a swooping swarm...
