“ Too Perfect “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Too perfect
next-time
opportunities
eyes moist
but never
really crying
stars realigning
heavy chested
and leathery
sordid confessions
half sitting in bed
being hardly mentioned
like lowered heads
with no sign
of recognition whatsoever
snorting from the bottom
of the belly half-closed
eyes of memory
swelling crescendos
stampeding horsemen
as serious contenders
being relieved of dullness
bent over doubled
descending hubbubs
becoming snow covered ...
