The Angler
In quiet places, cast a word,
Reel the line and bend the rod.
Watch for colour, darting shapes,
For fin and gill, as hand and quill.
There is no art in nets or cage.

Sing a submerged melody,
A shimmering of scales devine.
Play the siren, whirl the pool,
Claim the silt, a stirring lilt
To tame the heart...
