"Derived Partly"...

" Derived Partly "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Derived partly
by almost
unrecognizable
signature styles
headlining
thoughtful tidings

while being
squeezed for time
by backsliders
of the by-and-by
gone sideways

oft-re-incarnated
off stage
unsure of the purity
of space

like mutating
gold face paints
both cherished
and endangered

but as yet unnamed
staking erroneous claims
to unapproachable olden days...
