" Risking Escalation "
by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán
Risking escalation
getting back
into circulation
while sequencing
DNA heavily sedated
medicated and intubated
as a baby
at the plate
fighting fakery
by wiping away
the newly named
bar soap for the face
full of foreshadowing
good or bad
on first-crossed paths
with cleverness and care
in fat paragraphs
as a redoubt of rare
old-fashioned
months and a half
of submitted ballets cast
with the brutality
of family values
dusky and lush
with yearnings that tug
literally barbed enough
but never published
after redoubling
spade to dummy
endplayed
by ducking a club
in Purim's month
with Crayola colors...
