RAINBOW TROUT

Rain drops
Give me that ripple
That shimmers silvery
…of the pale moonlight
Waiting at river bank
Chewing capers
…and salmon slice
Leisure
But menial
When are you biting?
That piece of bait
I’ve long waited
To pull you up
Strangled with nylon
And you shall suffer

My tighs are wet
… of dews from the grass
That seems too short
For muddy river cliffs
Clouded by vapours
That march across
From between Karri trunks
Merging and enveloping the surface
… of the deep black reflection
…of the indefinite sky wall
Decorated in twinkles
Under the guards of the angels
Huh!
Pulling the strings are you?
Welcome to your death
