Redacted in a Wind Down

" Redacted in a Wind Down "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

The taint of scandal
in sanctimonious gambits
relieved of command
redacted in a wind down
of the invaluable
after an absence
of transparency
while gathering to chat
with everyday randomness
as a new apple named, "Alice"


increasingly combative
neither vegan nor paleo
from cane to cake
with a sweet taste
while holding its shape
by singing the praises
of a surname
in chaotic situations


like wordplay--
completely faked
unable to gauge
the mostly plain
deluged states
of the rain in Spain

with a stocking
over its face
in deviation
of the endgame
as discomfort remains
for the uninitiated


intimidated by modesty and strength
along gritty lanes prior to graduation
by implication more relatable
to an uncut wedding cake


needlessly endangered
by sudden resignations
with half the taint
blockaded by accusations
without objections raised
over jeopardization
of public safety


like a radical sea change
of plaintiffs saying
they were mistaken
in secret statements
as refusals to implicate
the unshakable
during decades too late
for bushy-bearded
hunting gangs
with saintly names
in oxyacetylene flames...
