Left to Take Our Chances"

" Left to Take Our Chances "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Left to take our chances
with both the earthly
and the unearthly
in a puzzled world

borders first
then filling
in the middle

rigidly binding
like hindsight
of the likewise

permitting
compromise
neither pious
nor futile

as scenarios
of wait and see
within spheres
of aimless activity

maligning human dignity
along with all living things
becoming bereft of meaning

objecting strenuously
risking vulgarity
startling to hear

inner inconsistencies
hide and seek beyond belief
clean cut void of reason
missing pieces...
