At the Nexus

" At the Nexus "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed
on YouTube

At the nexus
of adoring
the gawping
of a goof-ball
hoop-skirted
performance
in plain sight
all along
creaking
floorboards
as test runs
come
stumbling
to an end
Envied
and imitated
as the critically
acclaimed
like throwaways
of the strangely
unsustainable
Absorbed
into the mainstream
by channeling
lipstick and cockiness
implicitly followed
by the love of artistry
with psycho-melodic sass
Hugging tightly
with a mellifluous
yelp in falsetto
headlong
behind closed doors
and coming across
as nothing short
In all accordings
graciously scene
above the waste
with enablement
to perform
the sacred
as free-spirited
improvisation
in the upper ranges...
