Balanced Brokenness Haiku Series

"Balanced Brokenness Haiku Series"

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Its epicenter
as bottoming out markets
crawl away on floors


shaping legacies
ignoring one another
the cost of running


jarring disconnect
partly for fear of losing
conditioned reflex


must be vigilant
eyes lowered, traumatic stress
very slow tempo


webs of confusion
vociferous convergence
self doubts, turned around



barreling ahead
essential prerequisite
ragtag banishment


busiest, strangest
mistaken identities
reliably shy


much genuine joy
at the mercy of street noise
stone-faced, falling short


false discoveries
unscripted equivalence
50/50 splits


little argument
deliciously devious
keen cringe worthiness



heavy exhaustion
challenging audiences
not at all scary


recited flatly
obligatory tension
balanced brokenness


breathy urgency
purposely disconcerting
booming and jangling


buoying down moods
surging triumphalism
shoulder-drooping heft


lead vocal, slow jam
powerful benefactor
without the baggage


near minor leaguer
paying little royalties
shortly be rolling


even in downloads
strikingly posed nowadays
vaudevillian's canes...
