Encounter While Fishing
Joined at the mouth, my reflectionand I ponder the cloudy river,the wrinkled sky.I cast a baited hook into my breast,watch it sink through circles of light,golden strings entwining the line.Lips kiss lips in a watery smile,eyes set lazily on my eyes.
Earth-wash layers of river and skyflood my nostrils, my mouth.I am upside drowning,no distinction between blue and blue.Hook lances whites of eyes,leaps through open mouthwith a silver squirm of fish scales.
I paddle for land, dart through the forest,flee your depths, gills, your tastefor raw meat and salmon roe.I leave you Emily Pauline.You leave me Tekahionwake.A long gray cord of shore uncoils between us.
