On hot evenings,
When even the birds
Found flying too much
To attempt
I sought the coolness
Of streams
Shaded by gnarled
Flood survivors
That clung to cut banks
Tenaciously with roots
Like nightmare arms
Exposed to daylight.

Wading in,
I would begin,

Light line and tackle
Cast time and time
Till thought no longer
Troubled the actions
Nor ruled the mind;
Which drifted…
Beneath the surface
Reflections of the day
And tumbled over stones
Long ago worn smooth
From such journeys.

Exploring depths
In such a manner
I did not drown
Or flounder
Helplessly
alone
