“ Rescuing “
by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán
Rescuing imperiled turtles
having once survived
mass extinction as hawkbills
loggerheads and leatherbacks
being lethally harmed
by swallowing plastics
and injesting food packaging
injured in boating accidents
deprived of habitat
poached for their shells
getting trapped
in gill nets
nowhere left to nest
plastic remnants
resulting
in inevitable death
desperate to capture
our attention
acting as “canaries”
for our oceans’ health ...
