Consensus

" Concensus "

by Suzan Jivan

Still lives
as unexpected
means of expression
identified online overnight
with the consensus
of stealing somebody elses.

Pace

" Pace "

by Suzan Jivan

Pace of change
as glacial
over the fireplace
of steel magnates
with cults
of male genius
in revelatory levels
of repetition
for effect.

Fractions

" Fractions"

by Suzan Jivan

Here to protect
take-care-of-yourself
palm leaf offerings
from long thin strips
in collapsible formats
of indivisible fractions.

Weapons

" Weapons "

by Suzan Jivan

Refurbishing
masterpieces
rewardingly
warding off
temporary
installations
of uneasy
bedfellows
hesitant
to sever
negligible
weapons.

Aiming

" Aiming "

by Suzan Jivan

Aiming to sway
as far away
from feelings of fate
by competing
with spreeful
hand wringing
and emphatic
saber rattling.

The Nod

" The Nod "

by Suzan Jivan

Taking aim
without provocation
accepting the nod
of a threatened promise
stirring conflict
imposing stiff
sunlit bigwigs.

Weighing

" Weighing "

by Suzan Jivan

Weighing
an unlikely
bid to rewrite
the often-described
forces behind
sparking closer to the eye.
