The Afterimage

" The Afterimage "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

The afterimage
wore a rabbit's mask
while lying down
with a traveler
in dark pants

quashing the chatter
raising legs in the air
bafflingly vapid

as pre-show banter
to the title track
of a pulsating magma

as the natteringly fragile
divert their glances
in slightly embarrassing
closely packed living standards

bleakly hilarious clued in
couch bound
all-the-more re-imagined

seeming to share
the unglamorously supernatural
bending to current fashion

planned by grand design
by crack private eyes
while grinding on a chorus line

on the flip side of an argyle
knee high as the name implies
trying to shed light
on the scenery provided
below the hemline...
