 “Jumping Off of the Page”

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán 

Jumping off of the page 

as a harbinger of change

providing no escape

via contemplative shifting terrains 

composed of email exchanges 

bouncing between narrators

navigating heartache…

“You! All of You!”

 “You! All of You!

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

after an early wrong

asking, “Why would

post foot-tapping

and finger-snapping

happiness…

participate partake play a part 

lend a hand band together be at the ready …

“But Then Again”

 “But Then Again” 

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán 

But then again now and again

bringing back memories 

welcoming recollections

confessions “I’ll never tell” …
