Fly fishing
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at 06:09AM On the curling bank
Where the kingfisher's branch lowers over the slow pool
The old man sits for centuries
Nursing his line
Patiently possessing his soul,
Dreaming some, waiting.
For this gorgeous yellow-silver bream
Twisting, flashing, strong,
Made clever by other hooks
And not knowing his gentle hand
Would only stroke her
And set her free.
