where light and shadow
mingle let imagination guide
your choice:
Coachman, Adams, Little Yellow Stone,
Hare’s Ear, Trude,
Irresistable.
Cast upstream and across
mending line over confusing
currents, so fly and river move as
one.
Now concentrate desire,
from hand to rod to feather and
barb, willing one bright fish to
rise, connect,
take fly and line and two hearts
leaping into the sunwashed air.
Call it a rainbow.
— A poem by Larry Kenney
