Fishing
A perfect mirror –
Quivering glass…
Shields a foreign world.
The water waits.
A single slice
Breaks the image;
Cuts the ice in two.
The line is cast.
Still, be still –
Resume your calm.
Return to depthless blue.
Patience.
A flinch –
An illusion?
A ripple snaps away.
A bite – or imagination?
A desperate eruption,
Snarling for freedom –
Writhe with serpentine strength.
The battle begins.
The blue turns black
As the veil is torn;
Swiftly slashed to shards.
Reeling in.
Glimmers of silver –
A thunderous splash;
The schism is complete.
Caught.
Shift and breathe,
Assuage the mirror.
The bounty’s been received.
The water waits for more.
