soldiers' remains
found in graves
speciously
listed as "empty".

Pail Pink Nails
by Suzán Jiván
for Saint Swain
Not with dollars
slings, arrows
nor self-pity
pale pink nails
spin and leap
in a featured

of flashing rings
and flapping slingbacks
from among the young
well-weathered
yet still energetic
copperheads.
Compelled
by Suzán Jiván
for Nancy Nagel
Felt compelled
to attempt letting
fiery heat melt plenty
of unsequestered
oil spill questions
from way up the chain
declaiming
comedy shows of old
filled with vaudvillian cameos.

spoken by mutes
fed by nose tubes.

for Ishamarr Swan
Rethinking early gigs
with the mosh pits

fulfilled at intermission.
