Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Smoother roomier
treasures rescued from the sea
weathering the tide
vertebrate species
gleaming isolated isle
succulent lupine
trout stream wild steelhead
strung out interstate highways
halting urban sprawl
unspoken distress
moving farther and farther
folks in trophy homes
gold ring rosaries
sick of vehicular life
picking off stragglers
headed haplessly
as a hero in a cast
imprisoned last ditch
storm warnings ahead
amounts of plunder present
ringed by high dark cliffs
busy in summer
unshakable convictions
disgorged day-trippers
a few notches up
fish for lobster in winter
silent when need be
unlikely partners
services dwindle blight spreads
harsh forces curbed quests
over 50 dead
mass shootings of protesters
injected frenzy
off-the-shelf software
no peace yet, starting stampedes
filling out rosters
coaxing opponents
determined to keep focus
decades-old tactics
tepid inquiries
conspicuously condemned
cells and guard towers
knee-jerk injustice
turncoats opening fire
triage on the streets...
