Freshly Suspended

" Freshly Suspended "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Heavy-handed
heartfelt restlessness
punching home the message
for the disaffected
with the propulsive regrets
of reclusive rebels

in remnant populations
hidden in emergent sedges
after hedging to the bitter end
meant to stir and to unsettle
mischievous efforts

hips darting one way
arms spiraling in another
more awkward than oddly lethargic

like pidgeon-toed steps
by animal friends
in the rhythm section

gathering momentum
while insulating themselves
with coiled energy
from spontaneous inventions
freshly suspended
as pulpy red berries...
