“ Swirling “ ...

” Swirling “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Swirling assertions
and contradictions
by operatives ordered
to “loosen their grip”
by muddying outcries
via the steering of high-
level devious ideas
of pagan giants

imposing heavy curbs on asylum
minus the tie-dying of stereotypes
being deemed, “Eternally Timely
as a Morality Play...Not Quite!”

quivering getting inked
far far from the mainstream
donning sleeves of black and gray
fanning fear and anxiety

being ruled by, “The Evil Eye”
from “Outside Society”
tyrannically personified
like survivors of flood and fire
being complied unquantifiably
“Over Our Time”...
