Self-Effacement
by Suzán Jiván
Just a couple pretending
to be in love
in a confused production
with heretical tinkering
and all-embracing
self-effacement
as interplay...
Glaring Facets
by Suzán Jiván
Tense duets
now and then
in memory
especially
on weekends
set out
like gems
clasped
as glaring facets...

Red-Tinged Tips
by Suzán Jiván
Quickly
transitioning
depicted
by cliffs signaling
steeping sensibility
in gripping ripplings
of red-tinged tips...
Like Flyweight Yesterdays
by Suzán Jiván
Giving the illusion
of translucency
wafting floor to ceiling
like flyweight yesterdays
as sheer accumulations
of diaphanous day-to-days...

Liberally Mixed
by Suzán Jiván
All the features
in mediums
of exemplary
intelligence
with uncertainty
and creativity
liberally mixed
with deliberate
agility...
Tarnished Brass
by Suzán Jiván
Black ceramic
beaded masks
as transformative
fashion in a massive
gallery filled to capacity
with tarnished brass...

Uncertainty
by Suzán Jiván
Such con-centrated
company cursively
blurring after being
vigorously stirred
circling urgently
churning with
uncertainty...

However Damaged
by Suzán Jiván
In serenity being buoyed
by fantasy and perky soundtracks
however damaged
by harsh narratives
well versed in the resiliency
of ritualistic clarity as if in a hymn...
A Nocturne Ruse
by Suzán Jiván
Pitched
as a spot-
on semi-star
like a cosmic com
shooting through
a nocturne ruse...
In an Heir
by Suzán Jiván
Not nearly as optically deafening
as a feminist's spin
gleaning ideas
somewhere
in an heir...

Manically Flashing
by Suzán Jiván
Filling in the picture
with a digital billboard
by manically flashing
like blindingly desirous
light against a matte
background of abject black...

Never-Nevers
by Suzán Jiván
Stung by perception
while obsessively
confessing
psychedelic
never-nevers...
Still Stunned
by Suzán Jiván
Ultimately howling
nowadays tapped
out and still stunned
by an all-of-a-sudden
deconstruction...
On the Line
by Suzán Jiván
Still
on the line
song-
writing
about niceties
in keeping
with ringing
deeply
with meaning
while
unwaveringly
experiencing
insistently
riveting
repetition...
The Recollected
by Suzán Jiván
Uncovered together
attending
to the pretended
protection
of an edge
along with
the recollection
of the intensity
of the center...

Into Straighter Paths
by Suzán Jiván
Simple virtues
in review
playing
with sympathies
before whipping
minimalistic
zigzags
into straighter paths
with greater clarity...
While Angling
by Suzán Jiván
No less
familiar
tiptoeing
toward
commitment
like cultish
lovers
lavishing
flings
as eccentrics
while angling
toward scarcely-
examined
exasperating
flack...
Serious-Mindedness
by Suzán Jiván
Real urban life
inclined to derive
serious-mindedness
in dim light
as tirelessly
worthwhile...

remindings
at nighttime
like indecipherable
outsiders
most likely
to be docile
as opposed to vile...
Unveil
by Suzán Jiván
Taking over
tearing apart
plans to
unveil
wave-
lashed
glass
scoured
on
a
large
scale...
Belied
by Suzán Jiván
Duplicity
upheld
as posturing
for authenticity
while simultaneously
being
belied
by
make-
believe...
Morphing
by Suzán Jiván
Appealing intimacy
while quickly
morphing
into invariably
reedy chords
of a desultory
courtship...

The Grid
by Suzán Jiván
The surprise pick
as a stunt
or riff
in each
compartment
of the grid
silhouetted
as munificent
individuals
with the willingness
to forgive...
Stunned to Discover
by Suzán Jiván
A live model
like a stand-in
for a gutsy
makeover
in the moment
thought
to have been
stunned to discover
an endless run
of figurative sculpture
as a conceptual stunt...
Eternalized
by Suzán Jiván
Iconic delight
dramatized
as desire
like divine
blazes of light
eternalized...
Almost Any Remembrance
by Suzán Jiván
A reflection as a collection
of ephemera meant to represent
almost any remembrance
as a haphazard shimmering mash-up
of disparate artifacts...

In a World
by Suzán Jiván
In a world
of greatness blurred
form emerges
with eyes
fixed in the distance
along with original ambitions...
Friday, August 26, 2011
Filling the Grid
by Suzán Jiván
Filling the grid
with prevalence
and hidden

of recall
being inlaid
with steel
and slate...

Inside Divine
by Suzán Jiván
Low visibility
with high ideals
in short supply
as lowlifes
maraud
inside divine
high-rises...
Attracts and Assaults
by Suzán Jiván
Attracts and assaults
with, " Come Hither "
then, " GO NOW! "
as fanatically kitschy
ups and downs
like graphically punchy
disguises underlying
striking sightlines...

Seminal Connections
by Suzán Jiván
Wildly textured with astute attention
to written mentions
as testaments to revved-up
seminal connections...
Glossy Meaning
by Suzán Jiván
The actual titled
on front covers
discreetly
lip-synced
with
glossy meaning
in theory
like idealized
creeds
silkscreened...

Frantic Acts
by Suzán Jiván
Jig sawed
frantic acts
present
and past
as shutter
snapped
blurry
photographs
with honorary
status in scraps...
In Seeming Syncopation

The hybrid
genre joint
shots
subtracted
patterns
during
travels
stretching

in place
in seeming syncopation
with a claimed collaborator...

Fitted Together
by Suzán Jiván
Sheer
interestingness
fitted together
with little else
than memorable
elements
represented
by as of yet
undetectable
specters...
Ignoring No More
by Suzán Jiván
You know something as actual
after a small brawl
ignoring no more
outrage
as if unfazed
by mauling
mind games...
A Long Recoil

Of course a performance
widely held
while bending herself
as a long recoil...
Sunday, August 21, 2011
Readily Spent
by Suzán Jiván
Wonders
something
widely held
yet
readily spent
like
all the rest
of an in-
accessible
self
long and slender
as a hidden
hatpin
bent as well...
Or Perhaps
by Suzán Jiván
A how-to
pointing out
reshuffled
tracks
or perhaps
unanswered
therefores
as long-term
cursive worlds
hover then plunge
as stubbornly touching
and shamelessly yesterday...

Beyond
by Suzán Jiván
A chameleon absorbing
cheers and applause
as lovely and lovelorn
beyond
recall forced to make a point...
Hands-On
by Suzán Jiván
Calling on prospects for calm
while declining to comment
as upstarts on laptops
wirelessly scoff
at hands-on...
As a Call-and-Response Opera
by Suzán Jiván
Completely unordinary
as a call-and-response opera
while wending its way
with appraisers and mediators
as compensation for actually engaging
in conversation as give-and-take...

Evoking
by Suzán Jiván
Authorities
on myth ritually visual
tinged with glib artifice
lit with deliberateness
reminiscent of the intrinsic
complicity of distant history
with persistent unease
retrenching after crises
ultimately
evoking
homespun demeanors
by tapping into deeply
rooted ancient trees...
Exaggerated
by Suzán Jiván
For the most part
in-between art
real bodies
in wonkily
ardent
dialogues
involving
wildly
improvisational
and innovative
up takes
of blonde waifs
in translation
with props
and costumes
displayed
as handmade
with
exaggerated
makeup
and
handsomely
generated
combinations
as seen
somewhere
between
indiscreet
realism
and
the absolute
mendacity
of abstraction...
Make Believe
by Suzán Jiván
A bit melodramatically
answering the need
for make believe
as autobiography
complete with white knuckling
in a series taking a little something
from each as artistic thinking
while veering toward dismantling
conflicting boundaries within proximity
to deemed necessities...

Pupating
by Suzán Jiván
Gray
landscapes
populated
by
pupating
psyches
morphing
inside
chrysalis-
like
cocoons
of
primordial
light...
Illustrating Stasis
by Suzán Jiván
In varying
ways
illustrating stasis
of a new
day
on an anti-
gravitationally
glacial
pavement
between
bare
legs...
