Lake Like Glass
Lake like glass,
no wind this eve
which makes
blackflies hell
but the canoe glides
across the water
like the trout
I pursue
but seldom
catch.
Up two islands
turning back at
the abandoned
trappers cabin
returning fishless
to my humble tent
and a solitary scotch
as the sun sets
and mosquitoes
replace blackflies.
