Off Shore

" Off Shore "

by Suzán Jiván
aka Mom-Mom Suzán

for Kenny, Jimmy & Eric...

Inshore waters spawning
dorsal and caudal fins forked
much sought caught midpoint trawling
overhanging predation manmade
distorted proportions of body forms
swift water heavily silted
turbidly intolerant
dark markings dissolved oxygen
Corners of jaws unusually long
at midwater lips thick rounded tips
small rivers brackish habitats
dusky to black chubs gathering
course gravel aborted courtship
off shore...
