Between Finger and Thumb

" Between Finger and Thumb "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Long trains of lacy
bold throaty croaks
repeated, " cuk, cuk "


sticks lined with twigs
sub-elliptical
coastal cliffs


neck extended
standing still
dagger-like bills


covered gills
gripped bottom lips
surf fisherman


unseen gullies
powerful runs
between finger and thumb


tumbling surf
perfectly well
preferably gentle


creamy yellow
glossy green
spreading cedars


flattened leaves
aromatic sprays
narrow habitats


overall golden
rounded cones
smooth scales


coastal rocks
high mountains
prostrate and creeping...
