Labored Flirtation Haiku Series

" Labored Flirtation Haiku Series "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


A giant spreadsheet
for normal deliveries
refused all extras


no epidural
sensory experienced
spreading happiness


can and cannot thrust
ancient wisdom, pop culture
minus permission


sciences behind
forming, then breaking habits
intuitionless


primatology
prim-and-proper illogic
hospital charges


feeling overcharged
under a little-known law
flu outbreaks, earthquakes


persistent secrets
birth-inducing pitocin
one-third introvert


conceptual art
sawing, buffing and grinding
precise heat treatments


Minimalistic
edits but no overdubs
long songwriting slumps


withdrawn from running
if no steward comes forward
unwed and pregnant


final three minutes
hearing friction, bow and strings
beating frequencies


nine solo cellos
impressive pianism
slow decaying notes


still brooding bluntly
lacking sensitivity
ex's successes


overpowering
unworkably worsening
real noisy love songs


subtleties of touch
sizzle and rhythmic muscle
unsustainable


binding catalysts
discontinued doormat days
labored flirtation...
