Species Illustrsted

" Species Illustrated "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Species illustrated
usually five-fingered
small callussy inner edges

turned back sharply
like high-spired-
fine-growth striae

two or three obsolete
blunt-toothed-rather streaky
well-heeled cultural leaps

sneakers squeak
during a brief recess
beneath palm trees

eking out dreams
by siphoning streams
of glistening ideas

"I do!" after becoming
undone
from unaccompaniment

flickering with no small feats
of hope-to-bes
pieced with blurry distinction

connecting deeply and genuinely
through similar veins
having been sent on their way

post once-rapturous
faces
on crumpled paper...
