A Chinese Fishing Net

Death hangs on the poles at our bank. A Chinese fishing net sinks down with baits to lure into the fate. Doom lurks between the darkness and the blue. Joys dry in the breathless net at dawn. As care snoozes, snare catches. First printed in The Literary Hatchet (Pear Tree Press)
