On the Calumet River
Just south and two miles
From the house of the girl
I will later come to love
My father and I are fishing

The brown water flows
And swirls  The trees
Heavy with leaves cast
Their shadows

We will be here
The whole day and night
Among weeds bugs the
Heat rising

Without words
Casting our lines
Waiting for nothing
My father and I
Together

And above our heads
On an old iron bridge
A train is passing
