Fly Fishing
The small stream
and its bank-side buffer of trees
winds through corn fields.
Do not be tricked --
the current's pull is swift.
Step slow and steady. Don't trip.
Cast with patience.
Relax and find a kind of grace
in the rhythm, in the day.
Driving home, watch --
today you might catch
not a fish, but a glimpse of a fox.
