Give me a line

I return you a lasso

long enough to

catch something

that us open to the idea

of being surrounded

your stillness

like that of a hunter

waiting, noting

how a breath of wind

flicks the leaves of the

river willows as if

with romantic intent

mind is

like breeze in how

it skims water, ruffles surfaces

teases with the thought

that down there with a

supper to be caught lurks

death the denizen

creature of dark fable following

whom (if we anthropomophize a tad)

there are no currents, no

movements, just water

so smooth and static it

could as well be glass.
