" Hardscrabble "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Hardscrabble
amid the natural mundanity
of the rain-splattered landscape
envisioning the chilly otherworldly
rearing up in a near-fatal jig
choreographed with snappy precision
conquering the perilous
publicly imperceptible
non-regal tweed
from double monks
to creepers
screaming utility
like boxy hyenas
reaching formative years
with reams of conviviality
backslapping happy hours
air kissing for now
finally dressed down
pointing to common ground...
