When are danglers
called anglers

And what are they fishing for?

Hoping for a bite
or a swallow--

Some form or function
feast or frolic
of oral delight....

The Rainbows Blushed Back

fishing
on river
springs his summer

Note-rainbow takes the meaning 
of fish, like in rainbow trout....

Such an ugly fish
have a mouthful of sharp teeth
have lures on their heads.

Apparently, only the female angler fish have the lures, that light up to attract prey....

The Meat Locker 

The largest ice freezer of free-range Texan 
long-horns where mice wore fur to survive
broke down, the carcasses began rotting
thrown into the bay.
The day after, sharks came to the surface
throwing up, turning the water foamy 
For anglers, it was a bonus they caught 
big marlins and red snappers

Seagulls sit on rusting capstans
For the fleet to leave to sea,
Waiting for the missing helmsman
If it was meant to be.

Sounds of summer out of reach,
From anglers by the sea
No more pebbles on the beach
If it was meant to be.

For love is just a numbers game
Where life is a tax we levy
Until with hope we set aflame
As it is meant to be....

gold fish
was in love with
the gorgeous zebra fish
her love for her striped mate was blind
the two spawned to have their colour merged breed
love is love, colours mean nothing,
but anglers had their laughs
sold them as grilled 
gold fish

The water rises from the silent cool
Deep cave whose mouth is yawning far below
The crystal surface of the clear blue pool:
A river is emerging in full flow.

The wiser trout weave rainbow bodies through
The labyrinth of rushes, and their fate
Is to grow old – unlike the youngsters who
Rush downstream where the patient anglers wait.

At the foot of the Elbow,
just above the Bow,
an angler drowned
his feet caught 
in a shopping cart
split-cane rod still 
firmly in his grasp.

On the Grand
just below the Gorge,
another died 
opening weekend,
high water
few details are known.

At the Whirlpool
below Niagara Falls
bodies surface
sporadically 
but few are anglers.

When I go, I hope 
it’s in my waders 
but miles of rivers 
remain before 
my rods pass
to you....
