Fresh Catch – v3

stifled laughter
through the blessing,
but for only so long
furtive looks, sneaking glances
smirks giving way, a torrent
A cascade of giggling caught us
in waves, in commotion,
that night at the dinner table
A fresh catch by our fingers
perch and pumpkinseeds
flipped, flopped in the sink
during the dinner conversation
waiting for our hands
while spaghetti was on the menu
fresh from the lake
a few feet away, fresh catch,
a piece of the joy of childhood
serenading our supper
flip, flop, … splash
in mom's clean sink
