" Sawed-in-Half Haiku "
by Suzán Jiván
I
Amassing vast wealth
giddily hedonistic
fully coherent
II
Rifling through styles
already a crowd pleaser
piling up top ten
III
Constrained by limits
cheek-by-jowl in a mansion
punk-pop headbanger
IV
Almost maternal
faithfully reproducing
entering applause
V
Knowingly cooing
flattering the flatterer
seated dead center
VI
Squeezed in at one end
publicizing the title
symbolic moonrise
VII
With a brute focus
no visible nudity
come to think of it...
VIII
Visceral sidelines
successfully sawed in half
then razed and rebuilt...
