“ A Dozen Plus “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

A dozen plus
ton for ton
creaking
and sighing
cleansing fire
leaving
next to nothing
behind
entirely unrequited
as a stuttering rhyme
leading to a double life
like blithely forthright
fiction writers
seen running
down the aisles
chasing a charming
compromise
from columnists’ minds
revealing
slick findings
via secret societies
deemed, “Spy-lite”...
