Salmon Bites

Like a Grizzly bear looking intently
    from the rivers rocky crest
          I hunger for the first bite 
               of succulent Alaska salmon

Fresh caught in the mornings first glow
     of peachy dew light
           Open pink flesh glistening with rich 
                 aroma of the briny sea

Upon my grill graced in lemon garlic 
     drizzle with fresh dill
            Served on warm plates nestled 
                  on wild rice like a fleece blanket

A fine wine and friends gathered
      about the patio table
             Glasses raised in thanks as lips 
                    moisten in Grizzly anticipation
