Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
River headwaters
voiceless
seen crawling
never transforming
amid moss
thin moist short stalks
away from water
during fall
grayish to chocolate
sandy gravelly soil
coiling
violent contortions
peppered with flecks
seepages streamlets
noticeably webbed
scattered red
near sea level
wavy edged
guarded nests
acquatic duskies
upland streams
dark rippling
rock bottomed
rotting logs
black spots
floodplain forests
freely preyed upon
soggy swampy margins...
