Lifting the Rod

" Lifting the Rod "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Lifting the rod
into the back-cast
fishing across
the promenäde


resistance beginning
snagging the fly
stripping the line


drifting downriver
floats dipping
landing fish


holding fore grips
under still waters
with disgorgers


taking time to revive
energies survive
hatches of flies


feeder streams
suddenly deepen
signs of life
beneath the quiet...
