" Jawbone to Collarbone "
by Suzán Jiván
Jawbone to collarbone
snazzily panning for gold
as amalgams of jazz
hanging in the air
with a handful
of Belles of the ball for short
being bolstered by chords
of long before
like social norms to a fault
slowing to a crawl
after a long walk
some, but not all
moving underwater
never absorbing
prisons or coffins
for tubby lawyers
connected to porn
as orphans
of nonconformists
taunted by carnivores
using the royal, "we"
with the heart finesse
winning as high-bid tricks
like harbingers of hybrids
switching easily
between rapping and singing...
