" 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...
