Steeply Raked

" Steeply Raked "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Diametrically tricky seasons
hollowed-out like tympanic mallets
with the feel and balance
of a bamboo handle


hailed
in a steeply raked
cube of a haul
while lying along
sand-swept shores
for broadcast


playing hauntingly
for audiences
on a granular core
of the unavoidable


sounding
rather mechanical
cutting teeth
by focusing
in on demeanor
minus instinct


ceding to acidity
for the residually quick
after a climatic cataclysm...
