Can Be Traced Back

" Can Be Traced Back "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Can be traced back
after giving rise
to an unoccupied
arid environment

facing rigors of life
locomotion
and breathing
problems

never entirely divorced
from preceding species
during breeding seasons

swollen rings
lower bodies
dark mottling
spotting

large flat rocks
emerging larvae
well guarded

heavily blotched
weed-choked ponds
cypress swamps

gill slits
no hind limbs
carnivorous sirens...
