Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Black iridescence
pitching silvery belly
distinct dusky spots
a schooling species
spawning in fresh-water streams
return to the sea
culprits high and low
slowly arcing blue halo
keeping track of odds
forgetting knocking
high anticipation mode
duly set up camp
only a scant few
running to first, third at bat
floor-to-ceiling glass
greeting blood-shot eyes
each flyover in writing
no obvious signs
adding to the din
killed in prison, never tried
for the umpteenth time
lead to a strangler
continued unabated
to the breaking point...
