“ The Rise of the Icon “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

The rise of the icon
in cosmic time
signifying civilized life
as paths of light
streak across waters to the sky
likened to long drawn-out sighs
at the dawning of first light
rough uprights
muscular lines
exotic spices
blueberry shine
ivory stripes
pale-toned geysers
glistening
with moonlight ...
