" Long Before "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Long before
non-fictionalized portraits
of the strong and the swarthy
stunning ascendencies
upon newly awakening
from graves of jobless plagues
like chief curators
being catapulted to top ranks
eyebrows raised
by blue-collar workadays
retrofitted for the aging
as sweet pieces of cake made basic
topped off by pie--glazed
braised braids on pastry plates
prominently displayed
irony-ladened leavening agents
given to bellyaching
while navel-gazing...
