"Inward and Outward Upward and Downward"...

" Inward and Outward
Upward and Downward "

by Suzán Jiván

Inward and outward
upward and downward
undoubtedly harboring
log homes of old
and blanket rolls
of defiant sorrow

jolted awake
largely estranged
lacking motivation
exiting the cave
in a car chase

hunting for prey
with nervous behavior
exempt of explanation
as artificial civilizations
brazenly exploiting nature...
