salmon dreams
Salmon streams, salmon dreams, chill and sharp, rocks rub round and clinking, scales scrape. Salmon streams, salmon dreams, thrill and stark, ice melt torrent to the sea as we push up and up: return. The magnet’s draw, the leaning urge, the thrust, the memory. No lure, no eagle’s call, no bait, no fly, no pause. Just this: wildness. The moon’s cool pull, the whipping sun, the night’s dark dream. Salmon dreams of salmon streams. Spent, jaw slung. Went, and done.
