" A Headlong Rush "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
A headlong rush
scurrying and giggling
with tremendous vulnerability
seeing clearly souring and sullied
blasted heath
as confining as a mausoleum
like metallic blue mooneyes
laterally lined
oafish time-bending gestures
two-timing must-sees
impossibly flopping
compressed bodies
rocky reefs completely
encircling crooked cockeyed grins
with winsome modesty
between argument and feeling
amiably unhurried
rarely overlapping never lingering
standing chilly windy weather
during rough stretches
under cold spells
mists hugging meadows
protected from predators
strong reflexes
one of many
flicked away
seedlike eggs
well-vegetated
camouflaged coloration
heart-shaped forward-facing...
