Kudos & thanks to Milton Reynolds & Lulu Miller for enlightening me.
Amen, and will just keep thinking (and kidding myself) that July will be here “soon” here on the east coast for the striper run!
Would love to join you Stevie!!!
May your lines be tight in the year ahead😉
And yours too, Dusty!!! We need to share a stream some day!!!
Speaking as a Pike, I agree completely!!😂😂
Clever girl!!!
The salt in my blood
Talks to me in soft
Rhythmic syllables
Reminding me pulse on pulse
Of the long low low dream
(Rememberings of) sunning in the shallows
With flashes of silver
Deflecting the slow descent
Of sunlight
Settling below the warm
Wash of shorebound waves
(That far away memory
Stored in my cells)
Of diving in the deeps
Beyond coral crowns
Beyond the shelf
Guarding the coastline
That far eventual
Frontier
We crossed with tentative flips
Eons later
Where
We learned
Gasping
To catch
A breath
Out of water.

Thanks for this Rich! Love the poem! And it made me look up the new book from Lulu Miller which looks interesting. I like radiolab.
So glad you like it Denise! You'll love the book, though my new deeper knowledge of eugenics' history in our country depresses me!
A good one for sure. 👏🏻
Ha this is great, I am impressed with how you incorporated all the lingo with the jargon. 😅 I believe the fish do exist, you convinced me! ... And i've eaten a few
Hey David. Don't be overly impressed. My insight came from one strong source -- Lulu Miller's book Why Fish Don't Exist! It's a must read.
You bring the fish as its own being to life, Rich! The book is fascinating, though :)
