Angular Anguish

" Angular Anguish "

by Suzan Jivan

Showed no sign
won't go blank
from angular anguish
or jackhammer action
in the propulsive
steam of a drum.

Apotheosis

" Apotheosis "

by Suzan Jivan

Typically slightly
but in many ways
an apotheosis
is driven by
the single belief
that deviations
are contained
by the reactions
of a tempered chain.

Heavily Featured

" Heavily Featured "

by Suzan Jivan

Some kind of refined
vocal excercise
walking lightly
mild-mannered
heavily-featured
new material
revisiting
single beliefs.

Re-envisioning

" Re-envisioning "

by Suzan Jivan

fictional re-envisionings

with outsized egos
and competitive streaks
spurting affluency.

Naysayers

" Naysayers "

by Suzan Jivan

With no naysayers
"Often my haste
is a mistake,
but I live
with the
consequences
without complaint."

with mountains
of data
but far less
information.

Recalibrating

" Recalibrating "

rallying with exhilaration
waved away elated
chasing after it
giving it a wave
looking for affirmation
waving like crazy.

Admittedly Lip-syncking

" Admittedly Lip-syncking "

and admittedly lipsyncking.

Belly Up

In the center
star-struck
deeply fond of
some kind of fun
including grubby
mumbo-jumbo
for the benefit of
a frenzied belly up.

Slapdash

" Slapdash "

by Suzan Jivan

Gloom and rain
lapsing passed
future nightmares
in slapdash barracks
splashing with abandon
on the slippery brink
of the seemingly.

Scrapple with Scrambled

" Scrapple with Scrambled "

by Suzan Jivan

Daring
hazardous
and defiantly
off message
next in line
for the first time
in an unbiased bid
gun-packing
hockey-playing
maverick appeal
looking beyond
obvious options
taking risks
and relishing
surprise
ultimately
eschewing
a rising star
on the right
in a wide swath
warily, jitterily
effectively
muffling
coverage
flabbergasted
smacking
of panic
beyond
ecstatic
scrapple
with scrambled.

Ripplelike

" Ripplelike "

by Suzan Jivan

Moonlighted
dividing lines
alongside
the first time
nearby
ripplelike
and untitled.
