Members of the Troupe

" Members of the Troupe "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Members of the troupe
often unproven
nevertheless supplemented
as sensual colors
flecked with red

having moved
through concussive cues
that can be danced to
seemingly at random

minus feedback
from undefined ideas
while under siege
by thought-to-bes

being rubbed and struck
by percussionists
while in recovery
drenched with sweat

endlessly inventive
just above jagged
like a face transplanted
onto a flat canvas

where not all the germs are bad
from hapless years passed
as incalculable casualties
squiggling at a risky clip

held up brilliantly
slightly medicinal
somewhat mercurial
when attacked verbally

like copycatted rants
wearing orange silk satin
with stiffened white bands
above a flare

biasly cut
with no structure
as sartorial injustice
smugly zipped up
'n' unctuously
buttoned shut...
