Winked Objective Eyes Haiku Series

"Winked Objective Eyes Haiku Series"

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Rub elbows, glad hand
offer pithy reflections
buckraking circuits


speechmaking gold mines
rightly provide asylum
defying padlocks


hope for better ties
diplomatic full-court press
tension on the line


emulate rivals
helicopters crowding skies
unnervingly gray


opening tumult
proposed rules not watered down
well capitalized


safety and soundness
consumer fragility
focus on a niche


raided and detained
heartbreak rather than blind rage
tunneling profits


sources of worries
not entirely steady
seemingly sincere


arguments swirling
prior to opening night
winked objective eyes


demeaned desires
histories of agitprop
touted tuneful howls


doting on daughters
case studies in confusion
father/son resolve


concerts in the park
liberal metropolis
curtains coming up...
