Angler sits on river­bank
wait­ing for friends to call
one has Whiskers
one a Lantern Jaw.

A line in deep waters
clouds, time stream by
for com­pa­ny squir­rels,
a hawk in the sky.

Watch­ing, wait­ing
check­ing Worm on hook
day flows to dusk
and shad­ows the brook.

Night gen­tly falls
Angler packs up, leaves.
No fish joins the meal
wind through trees.

Shame has no place
at home with­out fish,
many oth­er things
fill a din­ner dish.

Not about sport
this Fish­er­man’s art,
hook­ing the Silence
that’s the best part.
