"Telling Tall Tales"...

" Telling Tall Tales "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Telling tall tales
as pumped-up
trimmed-down
and teased-out clarity

turning curtly pragmatic
without weariness or passion
prim and pretty
rather than formidable

but betraying no hints
as a skinny-dipper
ending with pianissimo
like ways of thinking in vocalise as captivating experiences

closer in spirit
with tricked-out
gravity and wit
far slicker
than kissy-kissy
mimicked
prissy intimacy

likened to full developments
of the senses off the record
carried in procession
as a passionate expression

pealing of bells
oils on canvas
moods of humanity
well within proximity
to divergent traditions

body and spirit
utter naturalness
documented in pictures
hung out of position
and slightly tipped

considered highly provincial
at once earthly and regal
deemed to be
sacrificial altarpieces
unusually complete
extreme simplicity...
