Edited and Condensed

" Edited and Condensed "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Edited and condensed
adjusted footsteps
in glassed-in spiral stairwells

walled off in open floor plans
with much-sought-after
massive beamed details

like pristine world-class
blazed pathways
beneath stained-
glass transoms
handling high-
fired stoneware

spraying the backstage
with canned fog
sanctioning apartness
in a new memoir

yet getting onto something
while typing and swiping
as signs of isolation

shaped by electronic chaos
fatalistically mismatched
by practicality and romance
in retirement plans

left fighting for life
spiritedly stylish
tip-toeing
in tutus and tunics...
