by Suzán Jiván
for Lester Mobley
Busy
amping up
with flashbacks
in a strange land
foreshadowed
by glamorous
attractions
of alchemy
as admiring
eye blinks
while hic-
cupping
blindly
woe-
fully
recognized
sniffing
and pinching
the pre-
dictably
grisly
in the midst
of whimsy
above
the groove
while digging
in decisively
like a two-timing
velvety quiet
of clear delight
as youthful
reminders
becoming
hard-wired
like fictionalized
grim statistics
in a predictable
grid of silhouetted
brilliance intrinsically
dimmed by double-
crossed victims
as inconsistent
sentimentalists...
