To a Love Angler

To a Love Angler

You threw out a baited line
     and hooked
          my heart;
Reeling me in, you promised
     we would
          never part.

That was such a long, long
     time
          ago:
Today, I just meander the river of life
     and go
          with the flow.
Was it just for sport that you threw me back;
     or was it because of me
          being just too black?
