“ Unparalleled “ ...

” Unparalleled “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Unparalleled lingering whiffs
of unsavory guilty pleas
brokering  secret meetings

spawning bribery
via candlelight
and lavish lifestyles

for the mostly prized clients
keeping quiet donning hardlined
pocket-book-minded disguises

carrying out
covert drone strikes
left in limbo
after fatal fires

while snickering
about artificially
intelligent kitchens

glazed with weighty worthiness
featuring vaguely familiar
shamanistic figures

as glowingly individual
indivisibly uplifted
by illuminated fingerprints

yet never flagging
wrapped in scratchy
bedraggled straight jackets
marred by cheap laughter

standard on distant planets
with abandoned hallucination-
sharing spirit animals

becoming energizedly scarey
in great detail shuddering ice
drenched in misty milky light...
