" Intimacies and Mysteries "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Intimacies and mysteries
sweetly befuddling
smart and stinging
blurring blending in
heartbreakingly
waiting in vain
revoltingly inhumane
being hilariously played
as outrageous
sedimentary layers
of uncontained
unexpressed amazement
and rage in trick-taking-
home-state card games
Skippo, Uno, Crazy Eights
shuffling bravely
simple-yet-audacious
tensions created
discarded counted cards
dishonest kinetic responses
out-flung arms..
