For my Norwegian friend, Jack (Johannes) Haugland, who used to spend his winters in South Texas.

Listen to poem:
Frothing, frigid fjords Fling forth fine stippled Salmon, streaking upstream. Roe-rich fish, flashing Fat and fulgent: Spurred to spawn, to spurt Then sputter -- spasmodic. Spectral. Unspared.
