" No Compelling Need "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
No compelling need
for vulnerable periods
before or since
neither polished
nor flashy
as flailing hands
free-of-flab
in reconciled pasts
like giggling masses
embraced
at arm's length
in make-believe spaces
traced day after day
affixed to doorways
as sacred places
of singsonging intonations
forever played...
