Unfinished Business

" Unfinished Business "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


A reopening
of unfinished business
saved as similar
words overheard
like a search
for the particularly
baffled first person


twisted blacklisted in film
by committees of fiction
progressively different
up until dinner in a bit
of voyeuristic long distance


like the changing lyrics
inscripted in pinky rings
of self-consciously
whirling trajectories
sitting entirely still


jealously split
collaborative ever since
resonantly commissioned
by illogical rituals
shed like snakeskin


spending a long time
frightened at midnight
riffing off ideas
as subpoenas


literally chased
character based
name to name
like real-life neighbors


completely wasted
passed on to babies
soloed away
while hoping to emulate
glamour on stage...
